Casillas wants Buffon to win Champions League - but not this year

Image
The Porto goalkeeper is hopeful that the Italian will one day win Europe's top club competition but doesn't want him to achieve it against Real Madrid Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas feels Gianluigi Buffon deserves to win the Champions League, but he will still be cheering for his boyhood team when they take on Juventus on Saturday. Buffon has won numerous trophies throughout his illustrious career, but Champions League glory has evaded the veteran shot stopper until now. The 39-year-old lost the final in 2003 and 2015 and he will be hoping it is third time lucky in Cardiff this weekend. "Had the opponent not been Real Madrid, I would have wanted Buffon to win the Champions League with all my heart, he deserves it," Casillas told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

  Real Madrid's 4-1 win against Celta Vigo on Wednesday means they need just one point from their final game of the season at Malaga this weekend to claim their first league title since 2012. If they lose, though, a win at home to Eibar would be enough to earn Barcelona a third straight title under Luis Enrique. And history shows the pressure of a final-day showdown can do funny things. ESPN FC take a look at five times Madrid and Barca have scrapped it out on the final day of the season to be crowned champions of Spain ... 1991-92 Going into the final day: 1. Real Madrid 54 2. Barcelona 53 Final standings: 1. Barcelona 55 2. Real Madrid 54 Madrid were top since the seventh game of the season, but Barca managed to cling on to their coattails. Going into the final match of the campaign, Leo Beenhakker's Madrid had a one point lead and, some thought more importantly, the advantage of facing an already safe Tenerife side managed by a former Madrid player in the final match of th...
