Miralem Pjanic has dismissed criticism of Juventus captain Gigi Buffon.

The goalkeeper made a notable blunder in Italy's draw with Spain, and compounded that with another error against Udinese on Saturday.

“Buffon is our captain, I don't think he's going through a bad period," Pjanic assured in the Press conference ahead of tomorrow's Champions League match.

“He's still the world's number one. In a career there are high points and low points, that's normal, but Buffon is playing and talking with us as normal so I don't think there's anything to say.

“He'll make the difference tomorrow too and prove he's the world's number one."
