Gianluigi Buffon wins FIFA best goalkeeper of the year award

Gianluigi Buffon has been named the best goalkeeper at the Best FIFA Football Awards 2017 in London.

The legendary Italian stopper picked up the prize having been named on a final shortlist of three alongside Real Madrid's Keylor Navas and Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer.

Buffon helped Juventus win a historic sixth straight Serie A title last season but couldn't guide his side to Champions League final success against Real Madrid in Cardiff back in June.
