903 games! Buffon becomes the Italian with the most club appearances of all-time

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon makes history today with his 903rd Serie A appearance, beating the all-time record of 902 set by Paolo Maldini.

The 41-year-old would’ve achieved this milestone earlier had he not spent last season in Ligue 1 with Paris Saint-Germain.

Buffon made his Serie A debut for Parma in a 0-0 draw with Milan at the Stadio Tardini on November 19, 1995.

He also played for the 2006-07 campaign in Serie B, sticking with Juventus following the Calciopoli scandal just months after winning the World Cup for Italy.

Of the 903 Serie A games, 474 were with Juventus and 168 while wearing the Parma shirt.

This will be Buffon’s 658th competitive appearance in a Juve jersey.
