Besides the deeply rooted events of "draining Milan's Dragon Vein" and "gambling," how can Buffon's combat strength be evaluated?

He debuted at the age of 17 at his peak, shutting out the defending champion AC Milan in his Serie A debut.

From 1995 to 2017, for 22 years, he made generations of Apennine goalkeepers sit on the national team bench one after another.

"The world's number one goalkeeper is Kahn, and the second is Buffon."

"The world's number one goalkeeper is Čech, and the second is Buffon."

"The world's number one goalkeeper is Casillas, and the second is Buffon."

"The world's number one goalkeeper is Neuer, and the second is Buffon."

Each generation has its own god.

Buffon, the "second goalkeeper" by default of other fans, can always meet the tactical changes of the "goalkeeper position."

For 22 years, no matter how the tactical version of European football changed, this kid still stood tall, outlasting batch after batch of excellent goalkeepers.

The Champions League draw entered its most thrilling stage.

Shevchenko, as a special guest, walked onto the main stage.

After a few simple opening remarks, he began the draw.

Pop!

Twist open the small ball.

Unfold the paper.

Group C: Shakhtar Donetsk!

"On October 28, 1994, Shevchenko's first-team debut was against Shakhtar Donetsk!"

"..."

The draw ceremony was very long.

After a long time, the second-tier team in Group C was drawn.

Chelsea.

"On August 23, 2006, Shevchenko scored his first Premier League goal for Chelsea."

"..."

Time passed slowly.

Some of the coaches of the third-tier teams had complicated thoughts.

It seems that Group C has the least pressure.

Guardiola and Mourinho didn't care much.

Anyway, according to the rule that teams from the same country and league cannot meet, Manchester City and Manchester United will not be drawn into Group C.

Soon, the third-tier team in Group C was drawn.

Barcelona.

"On November 5, 1997, Dynamo Kyiv challenged Barcelona at their home stadium, and the young Shevchenko staged a hat-trick in the first half! He conquered Camp Nou and became famous in Europe!"

"He led a weak Ukrainian team and defeated Barcelona, which had Figo, Albert, Sergi, and Rivaldo!"

"The perfect embodiment of individual heroism!"

Shevchenko's expression was a bit tangled.

How did these three clubs get together?

He sighed silently in his heart:

It's a pity.

The AC Milan team, with whom he has the deepest connection, still has to play in the Europa League qualifier tonight.

Tuchel was unenthusiastic.

Barcelona coach Valverde breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it is not a group of death, and Barcelona cannot be eliminated in the group stage like last year.

Messi's expression remained calm, as if he didn't care about any group draw results.

Buffon nudged Li Kang with his elbow and joked, "You and Barcelona are must-see programs in the Champions League group stage, guaranteeing ratings."

Li Kang didn't think too much about it.

After winning the "Triple Crown" with Arsenal last season, old man Topp once advised him to bring the championship trophy to the grave of his mentor, Vilanova.

The plan was eventually canceled due to his adoptive mother Sophia's persuasion.

'It's not like you won the championship representing Barcelona, you kid will make him angry to death again.'

Of course, it was just a joke.

The real reason was to respect Arsenal's collective honor and avoid Barcelona's management from making messy statements.

After a long time, the Champions League group draw results for the 2017/18 season were officially released.

Group C became a hot topic among fans.

Shakhtar Donetsk, Chelsea, Barcelona, Qarabag.

-

[Another Stamford Bridge Massacre? The Darkest Moment in Champions League History!]

-

[Police were dispatched to escort the referee, who fled the British Isles overnight!]

-

[Super Iniesta, Mr. Big Scene, Perfect Kill!]

-

[Is Chelsea not at fault? Barcelona has forgiven Chelsea.]

-

[I am a neutral fan. The Stamford Bridge Massacre was indeed the referee's dereliction of duty. The referee himself admitted that he missed four penalty kicks for Chelsea, but in the first leg at Camp Nou, the referee also gave fewer cards for fouls against Chelsea players! Back and forth in two rounds, a few cards offset 4 penalty kicks, it's even! Chelsea is not qualified to cry injustice.]

-

[A few cards offset 4 penalty kicks, it's even.]

-

[Don't be stubborn and distort the facts, the referee himself has admitted his mistake.]

-

[In the 04/05 Champions League season, Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea, the referee ruined his reputation that night and retired.]

The Stamford Bridge Massacre is a globally recognized classic case of misjudgment, but it always causes controversy in the comments section.

The draw ceremony ended.

Media reporters flocked to interview the coaches of each club.

Enrique was radiant and confident.

He didn't drag Arsenal into the pit, and he also achieved two consecutive victories in the Premier League.

"Arsenal's opponents in the group stage this year are very strong, and the difficulty of qualifying will be greater than last season, but I am confident that we will break through."

Greater difficulty?

The reporters quickly looked down at the draft.

'Group E: Arsenal, Porto, Besiktas, Maribor.'

You call this difficult?

Even if you, Enrique, doze off in the coach's seat and let the assistant coach take charge, Arsenal players can still qualify for the group stage with their strength!

On the other side, Valverde seemed a little reserved.

"Barcelona will learn from the difficulties and continue to move forward."

"I will trust the existing players, they are the hope of victory."

"I love Barcelona deeply and cherish the valuable coaching opportunity."

He is one of Cruyff's disciples.

He played for Barcelona as a player, playing as a forward, and won the European Cup Winners' Cup and the Copa del Rey with the team.

After retiring, he began his coaching career and repeatedly sniped Barcelona.

In the 37th round of the 06/07 season, he tied Barcelona, indirectly helping Real Madrid win the championship.

In the 09/10 season, he ended Barcelona's 19-game winning streak.

In the 13/14 season, he beat Barcelona violently, indirectly helping Atletico Madrid win the championship.

In the 14/15 season, he beat Barcelona violently, leading Athletic Bilbao to win their first championship in 31 years: the Spanish Super Cup.

Loves Barcelona deeply?

How does this guy's resume look like an undercover agent!

Zidane perfunctorily dealt with the media and strode to Li Kang's side.

His tone mixed with a hint of guilt, he said with concern: "Li, is your injury healed?"

Li Kang nodded and raised his arm.

Zidane's expression relaxed, revealing a kind smile.

He took Li Kang's hand and patted it gently.

Click.

The spotlight flashed.

The reporters quickly used their cameras to record this classic moment.

"A Handshake Between Two Generations of Legendary Midfielders."

"The Puzzle Outlook of the Galaxy Battleship!"

"The Head Coach Reserve of Stamford Bridge!"

Where's Tuchel?

That guy was chatting enthusiastically with Buffon.

There's no way around it.

Oblak, whom he dreamed of, didn't attend the draw ceremony, and Buffon happened to be the only goalkeeper representative on the scene.

The relationship between people is sometimes easy to get closer.

"I've been looking at a project recently... I don't know if you're interested?"

"Cards for points, it's even" This sentence is not made up by me, I can't make it up.
