Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon turned in a record breaking performance for their 3-0 Champions League win at Barcelona.

The goalkeeper made seven saves this evening at Camp Nou to deny Lionel Messi.

Messi hadn't managed seven shots on target since October 2018 in a Champions League fixture, yet he was unable to find a way past Buffon.

Messi has faced Buffon six times in his career, and only ever scored in one of those games.

Buffon turns 43 next month.
