Age-defying Casillas, Buffon renew rivalry

Goalkeeping icons Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon will renew a rivalry going back almost two decades when Porto host Juventus in Wednesday’s Champions League last 16. Age is just another number for Spaniard Casillas, 35, and 39-year-old Italian nemesis Buffon. The clash at Porto’s Dragon Stadium will be the 17th in their storied careers. Before kickoff the sparring between the pair had already begun on Twitter. “What do you think about it- For me, you’re the best,” wrote Casillas of a Uefa poll on the world’s leading goalkeepers. “I’m not choosing. We’re the best,” replied Buffon.
