Cruyff, Nesta, Gerrard... jugadores que pudieron vestir de blanco
Corría el año 2003 cuando la Juventus eliminó al Madrid en las semifinales de la Champions League. Un penalti lanzado por Figo y detenido por el meta italiano Buffon había dejado fuera a los blancos. Un año después, en 2004, la directiva blanca comenzó a interesarse por el guardameta de Carrara con vistas a una posible incorporación para la campaña 2005-06. La finalidad era tener dos porteros de garantías con Casillas y Buffon. El club blanco esperó un año, ya que en 2006 acababa contrato. Sin embargo ese verano fue movido en el Calcio: la Juventus fue descendida a la Serie B por el escándalo del Calciopoli (o Moggigate: una presunta red para amañar partidos, resultados… siempre a favor de la Vecchia Signora) y la selección transalpina se proclamó campeona del mundo. Ese año, además, hubo elecciones al Madrid. Una de las candidaturas, liderada por Villar Mir, llevaba al portero entre sus pretendientes. Pero Buffon lo tuvo claro: “La Juve me ha hecho rico. No puedo abandonarla ahora…”. Y allí sigue desde 2001, salvo una campaña que se marchó al PSG.
