#2 Gianluigi Buffon
Aged 38 now, Gigi Buffon still has a lot left in him and this has been proven by his performances in Euro 2016. The Italy captain conceded only once in the four matches that he played in the tournament and was one of Italy’s best players of the competition.
Through his agility and brilliant reflexes, Buffon kept on negotiating the opposition attack time and again. In the knockout stages, Italy face Spain and Germany and both sides kept on testing Buffon but the Juventus custodian kept on frustrating the opposition through his shot stopping ability.
In the quarter-finals against Germany, Buffon made a brilliant save from Mario Gomez during regular time and made a save from Thomas Muller during the penalty shootout but wasn’t helped by his strikers on the other end as Germany won the shootout 6-5 and Italy were out.
However, Buffon showed that he still has a lot left in him and will be hoping to take one last shot at tournament glory at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
