Gianluigi Buffon said he will retire at the end of the season unless Juventus wins the Champions League.

Buffon would like to stay on with Juventus to also win the Club World Cup in December of 2018 if they were to win Europe's top prize.

"There's no margin (to change mind) because I'm quite convinced of the choices I've made," Buffon said.

"This is my last season and I'm pretty sure of the choices I make. One or two more years wouldn't add or take away from what I've already achieved. The only way would be to win the Champions League,' he continued, suggesting that he would share the role with his understudy Wojciech Szczęsny at the Club World Cup.

"At that point, to try to win the Club World Cup, maybe Szczesny could play one game and me another,'"said Buffon. "But I think with a goalkeeper like him behind it is normal that next year I'll stand aside," said Buffon.
