Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon has chosen his ultimate XI.

The Italy captain was asked to choose an ideal team of players he has either played with or against in his career.

Buffon named just one present day player - Lionel Messi - in his selection.

"When Messi is at 100 per cent form, you can forget about trying to stop him. It's just a wonder to watch him.

"Ronaldo is the best I ever played against. If it wasn't for injury, I think he'd be talked about on the same level as Pele and Diego Maradona."

Buffon's Ultimate XI: Casillas; Thuram, Cannavaro, Maldini, Roberto Carlos; Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved; Baggio, Ronaldo, Messi
