Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon the greatest No. 1 of all time - Paulo Dybala

Juventus forward Paulo Dybala has said Gianluigi Buffon is the greatest of all time after the 39-year-old goalkeeper helped his side to another Champions League final.

Buffon has been in inspired form, conceding only three goals in 12 European games this season, and Dybala said he was honoured to be in the same team.

He told Sky Sport 24: "Gigi, for me, is certainly the No. 1 of all the No. 1s in the history of football.

"We're all lucky to be able to work with him, and I hope it remains that way for a long time to come."

Buffon has yet to win the Champions League, but has another chance to lift the trophy when Juve face Real Madrid in Cardiff.

The miserly Juventus defence has conceded an average of just 0.2 goals per game, and Dybala said that would give them a chance against Real.

"Our defence is a wall," he said. "I've suffered against it as an opponent and now I am revelling in it with my teammates."
