In consideration of his time in Serie A with Parma and Juventus, plus his decorated Italian national team spell, here's a look at some stunning numbers from a career that kicked off in 1995 when the then-17-year-old recorded a clean sheet on his debut for the Gialloblu against AC Milan on Nov. 19:

1: Awarded the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year in 2002-03, Buffon is the only 'keeper to win the annual honour.

5: Buffon is one of three players to appear in five World Cups, joining Antonio Carbajal (Mexico) and Lothar Matthaus (Germany).

6: The Parma youth product's six World Cup clean sheets are tops among Italian players.

9: His nine league titles with Juventus are the most for an individual in league history.

7: The shot-stopper's seven Scudetto conquests on the bounce are a joint-record with Juventus teammates Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini, Stephan Lichtsteiner, and Claudio Marchisio.

10: Buffon's 10 clean sheets on the spin during the 2015-16 Serie A season is a league record.

12: The Italian's 12 awards for Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year is tops in league history.

19: His 19 trophies with Juventus is a club record.

21: Buffon has twice set the record for clean sheets in a league season, doing so in 2011-12 and 2015-16.

€52: Buffon's €52-million transfer fee when he moved from Parma to Juventus in 2001 remains a record amount for a 'keeper.

640: Buffon's 640 Serie A appearances are second all time to legendary AC Milan defender Paolo Maldini (647).
