Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has retired from football after 28 years.
Buffon won the World Cup in 2006, lifted 10 Serie A titles with Juventus and a Ligue 1 title with Paris St Germain.
“That’s all folks! You gave me everything. I gave you everything. We did it together,” Buffon said in a statement.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest ‘keepers of all time, he ended his career where he started, at Parma who are in the Italian second tier, having struggled with injuries in his final season.
