'This is Juve's moment' - Zambrotta backs Buffon for Champions League glory

As the goalkeeper looks to win Europe's premier club competition, his former team-mate has backed him to land the trophy

Former Juventus defender Gianluca Zambrotta believes the moment has arrived for the Bianconeri and captain Gianluigi Buffon to win the Champions League against Real Madrid on Saturday.

The two teams go head-to-head in Cardiff as Juve look to complete a treble, after Serie A and Coppa Italia wins, while Madrid aim for consecutive European titles.

Juve last won the competition in 1996, with stalwart Buffon yet to taste Champions League success after final losses to Milan in 2003 and Barcelona in 2015, and Zambrotta believes they are ready to end the drought.
