PSG goalkeeper Buffon: Very difficult facing Napoli

PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon expects a huge challenge against Napoli in their Champions League clash.

PSG cannot afford defeat in Naples as they battle for group qualification.

“It's difficult to play here," Buffon warned.

“I know the stadium well and it's passionate. It's difficult, because there's a great connection between the team and the fans, and it'll be difficult to win because, as we saw in the first leg, Napoli are to be respected.

“It's not a normal game, we know that we have to win, but even more important is not to lose because we still have chances ahead of us.

“Returning for such an important game, and in Naples, gives me some important motivation and I hope I can be useful for the team.

“We know that we are in a difficult situation, but it is also true that the team has been growing in recent weeks and this gives me hope.

“I didn't keep playing to win the Champions League, but because of motivation and how I feel physically."
