GIANLUIGI BUFFON | Juventus & Italy

In 2001, the Carrara native became the most expensive goalkeeper in the world because he was the best goalkeeper in the world. Fifteen years on, nothing has changed, with the 38-year-old Buffon still the standard by which all other shot-stoppers are judged, the leader of a defence that propelled Juve to a league-and-cup double last season - and Italy to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016. The highest ranked goalkeeper in the Goal 50.
