Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon is set to start in tonight’s Coppa Italia final against Napoli.
The 42-year-old goalkeeper has won five editions of this trophy, so a sixth would enable him to equal Roberto Mancini’s record.
“I am playing less this season, so naturally when I do step on to the field, I am more fired up than ever,” Buffon told DAZN.

“The real secret to getting top performances is to cut down on the number of games you play, many of which don’t really grab you by the soul, so the ones I do play are experienced with great intensity.
“Of course, I am also physically well-rested and therefore in good shape, too.”
