Returning Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon has explained his refusal to take the number one shirt or the captain's armband in the first season of his second spell in Turin, saying that he doesn't want to take anything away from the current incumbents.
Buffon left Juve after 17 years of service to join French champions Paris Saint-Germain last summer, but managed just 25 appearances in all competitions in France.
Although he lifted the Ligue 1 trophy at the end of it, he failed to hit the heights he managed in his 656 appearances for Juve, and after calling time on his spell in Paris, he re-joined the club he calls home on Thursday, before being paraded to the fans on Friday.
