Messi reversed his bad luck when facing Buffon

The double in the match on the evening of September 12 were the first goals that Messi scored against goalkeeper Buffon.

Messi opened the scoring and sealed a 3-0 victory for Barca against Juventus on the evening of September 12. These were also the first goals that M10 scored against Buffon, one of the best goalkeepers in the history of world football.

With Barca, Messi faced Buffon for the first time in the 2015 Champions League final. At that time, the Argentine star was in great form but could not defeat the goalkeeper born in 1978. The best thing Messi did was to launch an attack that led to two goals from Rakitic and Neymar, and at the same time, shoot, forcing Buffon to push the ball so that Luis Suarez could shoot accurately.

Messi's bad luck continued when Barca met Juventus in the quarter-finals last season, with Buffon excelling in both a 3-0 home win and a 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp.

Before Buffon, Messi also had a lot of difficulties when facing another talented goalkeeper, Petr Cech. The period of M10 not scoring against Cech even lasted 10 hours and 11 minutes.In 2016, Messi finally turned his bad luck around when he scored twice to help Barca beat Arsenal 2-0.

While Cech and Buffon are two of Messi's toughest opponents, many other famous goalkeepers have become familiar victims. The list includes Iker Casillas, Edwin Van der Sar and David de Gea.
