Gianluigi Buffon: Believe in your dreams
ByFootballItalia
Gianluigi Buffon has admitted that he wasn’t sure he’d get into another Champions League Final with Juventus, but “you have to keep believing in your dreams.”
This is the only major trophy he hasn’t won and Juve are going to Cardiff after beating Monaco 2-0 on Tuesday evening to complete a 4-1 aggregate win.
“It was all damn difficult, regardless of the 2-0 first leg result. If we had come here tonight with arrogance, we’d have experienced some very difficult moments,” Buffon told Mediaset Premium.
“We still did, but when you’ve got the right mentality, you can overcome those obstacles with dedication.
“We are in the final, and I won’t say that was our first objective, because now getting to the final doesn’t count for anything.
“I am very happy, because I get here in good shape and there’s no denying if I wasn’t in a big club and with great team-mates, I would never have come back to a Champions League final.
“Two years ago everyone assumed it was my last Champions League final, but you have to keep believing in your dreams.”
Juventus will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the final, with the former leading 3-0 on aggregate going into the second-leg on Wednesday.
