Aged 41 years & 317 days, Buffon becomes the 2nd-oldest player to appear in UCL

Ronaldo and Higuain were on target for Juventus as Leverkusen’s UCL campaign ended with a 2-0 loss. Aged 41 years and 317 days, Gianluigi Buffon became the second-oldest player to appear in a Champions League game after Marco Ballotta in December 2007 (43 years and 252 days).

The Juventus goalkeeper now (51) surpasses Edwin van der Sar (50) in the list of goalkeepers to keep most Champions League clean sheets. Only Iker Casillas (57) has kept more.
