Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has spoken of his admiration for Parma goalkeeper Gigi Buffon.
Buffon left Juventus for Parma last summer and is still going strong at 44 years of age.
When asked who is the best keeper he has ever faced, Salah told Sky Sports: "I can't decide on one so I'm going to give you four. Casillas, Buffon, Alisson, Neuer. I'm sure there are plenty of other great goalkeepers but I am forgetting at the moment. It's hard to choose which one.
"When I played against Buffon in Italy, he was unbelievable. The feeling when you are up against him, it's amazing. The career he had winning everything in football, it's unbelievable.
Asked if Buffon has got a big presence in Italy, Salah said: Yeah, more so in Italy than in England. When I was playing in Rome, fans applauded Totti home and away. That only happened with Totti, De Rossi, Buffon and Del Piero. I don't think that happens in England, the fan is always against the opposition player, In Italy wherever Buffon goes, he gets the respect he deserves."
