Former Juventus and PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon made a revelation this Sunday and admitted that he had bought his baccalaureate diploma.

Gianluigi Buffon has left his mark on the history of Italian football. The former international goalkeeper has won practically everything during his career, culminating in a success with the Italian national team in the 2006 World Cup final. Holder of ten Serie A championship titles gleaned with the Juventus, the one who first wore the Parma AC jersey (1995-2001) is no less a man. With the flaws that go with it.

And this is one of them that Gianluigi Buffon spoke about, during an interview published by La Repubblica. An inglorious moment in his non-sporting life that the forty-six-year-old man obviously had on his heart and which he wanted to talk about. “ When I was young, I made a lot of mistakes. The one I’m least proud of is having bought my baccalaureate. I wouldn’t do it again, because it was a mistake and a shortcut, and I’ve never been like that. »

No C1? Not an injury

A confession that the former champion concluded thus: “II like to believe that my imperfections bring me closer to people, that they make me more human. » In this same interview, “Gigi” Buffon also spoke about not having won the Champions League during his rich career. And reading it, it’s ultimately not so serious for him. “ It’s not an injury. I just experienced it every year as an incentive to fight to always go higher. »

As for his decision to end his career, he explained that it was motivated by a calf problem and some other recurring physical problems which prevented him from training properly. The time had come for him to turn the page.
