Italian long serving goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon said he always thought he would have another chance to win the Champions League, after Juventus reached next month’s final in Cardiff.
Juve beat Monaco 2-1 in the semi-final second leg to triumph 4-1 on aggregate.
Buffon, who has made more than 1,000 appearances in his career, was on the losing side as Juve were beaten in the 2003 and 2015 finals.
“Two years ago everyone thought it was my last final – but you have to believe in your dreams,” said the 39-year-old.
With Juve already leading 2-0 from the first leg, goals from Mario Mandzukic and Dani Alves left Monaco needing four goals in 46 minutes to progress.
Kylian Mbappe’s second-half strike made little difference to the result, but ended Buffon’s run of 10 hours of Champions League football without conceding.
