While it is not yet confirmed, it is widely believed that this will be the last season we see Gianluigi Buffon in the Champions League.
Hopefully he is able for another year as he is truly a living legend of the game, but speaking ahead of Thursday's UEFA Champions League draw, Buffon has been speaking as if this is his last run at the trophy that has somehow alluded him throughout his career.
On the way, he wants to experience some of the best atmospheres's in European football, and that is where the Italian became the latest modern great to fawn over those special European nights at Celtic, as he listed the Scottish club alongside the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Buffon expressed his wish to play in Celtic Park one more time.
Playing in the Champions League allows you to experience some of the most exciting stadiums in Europe and when you are younger you take that for granted as there are many more opportunities ahead of you.
But as you get older you realise there are things you perhaps won’t experience again.
I want to test myself at the Bernabeu and Camp Nou again, I want to play in another special evening game at Old Trafford. I want to experience the electric atmosphere of Celtic Park once more.
Hopefully I can experience some of those things again - but the reality is that some of them I won’t.
I will not see my career as incomplete if I do not win the Champions League - I have won too much with Juventus and Italy to look at it like that - but it still remains a big dream for me.
The way I look at it is that I have one more year on my contract so I have one more chance to lift the trophy. It will not be easy - but we are ready to fight again.
If we win the Champions League I will continue to play one more season so I can also try to win the World Club Cup and other trophies.
We've heard in the past about how Lionel Messi, Xavi, and all of the Barca team that felt the wrath of Tony Watt left Glasgow with a special appreciation of the atmosphere generated by the fans, so it's good to know that Gigi feels a similar way.
If Celtic don't come out of the pot, hopefully for Gigi he wins the Champions League so that he gets another chance next season.
