Lilian Thuram and Gianluigi Buffon were teammates at both Juventus and Parma in the Italian leagues, but now the goalie has played on the same pitch as the French right-back's son.

And such is the length of time that Buffon has been playing football professionally, his career starting way back in 1995, that the veteran shot-stopper actually played in a game with the son of Thuram - En Avant de Guingamp striker Marcus Thuram.

After Paris Saint-Germain played their Ligue 1 oppotents, Buffon and the 21-year-old attack had this interaction after the match.


Buffon has had an outstanding career despite never winning the Champions League. He has, however, won the World Cup, and a number of domestic titles with Juventus, the club who had played most of his career with.

His move to PSG raised a few eyebrows, but he has been given starts and even made some crucial saves in the opening few games of the season.

How do you think Buffon will get on at his new club? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section - we want to hear from you.
