Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon has insisted that his side will not just be making up the numbers when they face Barcelona in the Champions League final on Saturday.
The Veteran stopper is still hunting for his first Champions League crown, having been denied in 2003's final against AC Milan at Old Trafford in a game that saw the 37-year-old save two penalties but still lose out.
"We can't go there to make up the numbers. This match means far too much to us," Buffon told FIFA's official website.
"In my head I never had any doubts through these nine years, although at one point I had a serious injury, but I knew I wanted to get to the Champions League final. We need to take the last step, and most difficult step."
Buffon will have to stop a trio of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi, who have scored 120 goals between them this season, in order to steer the Old Lady to their third European triumph.
