Match Shirt • Club • Parma • 1998 • Lotto • Keeper • #1 • Gianluigi Buffon • Match Worn

Parma goalkeeper shirt, 1998/99, match-worn by Gianluigi Buffon. Puma keeper template from the double-winning season; long sleeves with name and number in the fabric of the shirt.

Parma’s trophy run was underpinned by defensive assurance and efficiency in both boxes. Malesani trusted a compact shape and quick, direct attacking patterns; the side were notably strong in two-legged ties, closing games out with control rather than chaos.

In his early 20's, Buffon was already the unit’s leader from the back—high starting positions to sweep, strong wrists on low shots and authoritative claims under pressure. His consistency through the spring was a quiet constant of the double, and the campaign fixed him as the reference point for the role in Italy and beyond.
