Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon has played down their prospects of winning the Scudetto.

Buffon was talking to Sky Sport Italia when he reflected on Juve's strong start to the season that sees them top the table after nine games played.

"It has been a good start, there is no doubt. But, as I have said many times before, even in the last two years when we have started well we have finished seventh. We all saw what happened and how those campaigns ended.

"For this, I believe that we must remain firmly on the ground. The thing that makes me angry is the fact that in the weeks after the victory against Inter, it is reported that I said that we will win the Scudetto.

"At 33 and with the experience that I have accumulated and mostly because I say what I think and think what I say, it is an error I would not make. This is not false modesty.

"I really think we can take satisfaction this season, but that means being competitive, which is very different from winning the Scudetto."
