Serie B Among Gianluigi Buffon's Greatest Moments With Juventus

Juventus goalkeeper Buffon suggests Serie B demotion was a good experience.
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has said his experience in Serie B was among his best at the club as he celebrates his 10th year in Turin.

Speaking to Juventusmember.com, the Italian international said: "My first big joy was winning the Scudetto of May 5 [2002], and then the [2003 Champions League] final in Manchester, which is always a historic memory despite the negative outcome. And, there is the game against Rimini in Serie B."

Buffon's success with Juventus has been rewarded with his appointment as captain of the Italy team.

"It's a great reward, sooner or later it was bound to happen after making my debut 14 years ago," he said.

"I have to say it's an honour to wear the armband, but there are many captains in this national team."
