It's time for Buffon to retire, says Kahn

The 40-year-old crashed out of the Champions League with Juventus amid controversial circumstances, and Germany legend Kahn feels he should walk away

Gianluigi Buffon should retire from football at the end of the season, according to goalkeeping legend Oliver Kahn.

Buffon has enjoyed an illustrious career at the top of the game, winning the World Cup and reaching a European Championship final with Italy, and claiming several Serie A titles at Juventus.

Despite reaching three finals, the 40-year-old has never won the Champions League and was deprived of another chance to claim the illustrious title after his side's elimination from this season's quarter-finals.
