Gianluigi Buffon warns Italy's Euro 2020 hero Gianluigi Donnarumma to expect criticism throughout his career as the 43-year-old opens up about his 'costly' Champions League mistake against Manchester United

Gianluigi Buffon has opened up about how the pressure of expectation has followed him since the start of the goalkeeping legend's career - and has warned Gianluigi Donnarumma that he will face the same scrutiny.

Buffon this summer rejoined Parma after leaving his boyhood club for Juventus in 2001, with the Italian spending a season at Paris Saint-Germain in 2018-19 before going back to the Old Lady.

The 43-year-old's time at the Parc des Princes saw him win Ligue 1, but it was a fumble against Manchester United in the Champions League round of 16 that proved costly as PSG were dumped out on away goals.
