“This is the scudetto that satisfied me most because it was assigned by the match at San Siro which, four days before the end of the championship, looked like a real final. Winning that match, away, was incredibly exciting and it was the best possible ending.”
Certainly, it was not Gigi Buffon’s first important win in his career but this Scudetto tastes special and not only because of the result of the match against Milan: “For the season as a whole – he continues – I think that probably the most important win was at the Olimpico against Lazio as it gave us a boost in the most critical moment. It has been a great championship: we’ve had more than an occasion to wrap it up but we’ve always been caught up with. Nevertheless we’ve never given up and winning this way has given us even more satisfaction.”
It’s been the group’s win, but should Gigi Buffon reward anyone with a medal for this triumph he wouldn’t have any doubt: “Should I name someone I’d say Ibrahimovic, for the positive impact he’s had on the team and how he fitted well to our championship, Del Piero for the class he’s shown also off the pitch, let alone how he’s played, Trezeguet, because in spite of his injuries he’s always been there and then Cannavaro, who has played an outstanding season. Actually, everyone has been fundamental because all of us, from the coach to myself, aimed at the same target, going all the same direction”.
