Widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, the Italian icon earned 176 international caps and helped Italy win the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Renowned for his incredible reflexes, commanding presence and remarkable consistency, Buffon became a symbol of Italian football and a leader for generations of Azzurri players. His extraordinary performances also earned him recognition among football's elite, finishing second in the 2006 Ballon d'Or voting after Italy's World Cup triumph. He remains one of the very few goalkeepers ever to finish in the top three of the prestigious award, an achievement that underlines his exceptional standing in the game. During the 2017\/18 campaign, Buffon experienced one of the most difficult moments of his international career when Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958. The heartbreaking play-off defeat to Sweden led him to announce his retirement from international football, bringing an emotional end to an extraordinary journey with the national team. A special shirt associated with one of football's most respected goalkeepers, celebrating the legacy of a World Cup winner whose talent and leadership defined an era of Italian football.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Total Football Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55578598441299,"sku":null,"price":109.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1108\/8894\/3955\/files\/00067B.png?v=1792782806","url":"https:\/\/totalfootballarchive.com\/products\/gianluigi-buffon-keeper-shirt-2006-08-gianluigi-buffon-1-m","provider":"Total Football Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
