Gianluigi Buffon has been named the best goalkeeper at the Best FIFA Football Awards 2017 in London.
The Juventus man beat off competition from the likes of Real Madrid stopper Keylor Navas and Bayern Munich Manuel Neuer.
Buffon picked up his eighth Serie A title with Juventus in 2016/17 and also helped them to the Champions League final, where they were beaten by Real Madrid.
“I am very happy because this is a great award to win at my age,” said the 39-year-old.
“The last year has been fantastic for Juventus and me but it wasn’t enough to win in Europe.
“Hopefully this year we can play better and win with the national team and Juventus.
“I would love to finish football with fantastic victories.”
