The latest title in his coffer sees Buffon move level atop the Serie A record books, joining three other players who won an octet of league crowns during their respective careers in Italy's top flight.

The 39-year-old will look to complete his own personal trophy cabinet when Juventus meets Real Madrid in the Champions League final next month.
