Juventus match worn / issued shirt by Buffon in the Serie B match played against Piacenza on 04th March 2007, 2006/07 season.

Juventus faced Piacenza in one of the most difficult seasons in its history, the year in Serie B, during the 26th round of the league. It was the season of the fall, but also of resistance.

The team was called to prove it could fight, even far from the lights of European football. And it did just that. Trezeguet scored after just 33 seconds, then Del Piero followed with a brilliant hat-trick: a penalty, a free kick, and a left-footed goal in the final minutes. The stadium erupted. Juventus climbed back to the top of the table.

At the heart of that team stood Gianluigi Buffon, the moral captain of a wounded Juventus, a silent and irreplaceable leader.

He didn’t need to perform miracles. His presence, his timing, and the calm he transmitted to his teammates were enough. Piacenza tried, but Buffon was there. Always. The final result was 4–0 — more than just a scoreline, it was a statement of identity. The nobility had fallen, but never lost its honor.

The shirt on display, dated March 4, 2007, is more than just fabric: it’s a symbol of loyalty, sacrifice, and rebirth. Buffon, who had just won the World Cup in 2006, could have chosen any of the world’s biggest stages. But he didn’t. He chose Juventus. He chose Serie B. He signed that shirt at the end of the match, holding it in his hands like someone holding a promise. A promise he kept.

Between 2006 and 2007, Juventus lived through the pain of sporting exile. But it was also the year Buffon, Del Piero, and a few other legends became the club’s protectors. That number 1 shirt tells the full story: of bitterness, dignity, and the pride of those who don’t give up. That season, though seen as minor by some, remains one of the most meaningful for Juventus fans. Because greatness isn’t measured by trophies, but by loyalty.

Buffon would officially become captain in 2012, leading Juventus into one of the most successful eras in its history. But true leadership had already been shown here, in the shadows of the spotlight, where identity is built. When Claudio Marchisio said goodbye in 2018, he called Buffon an example for generations. And Buffon, looking back on that season, once said: "I wasn’t a Juventus fan at first. But I chose to become one. And that’s the greatest gift of all these years."

That shirt speaks to every supporter. It tells the story of a man who could have walked away, but chose to stay. Of a champion who, through tears and sweat, wrote one of the most beautiful chapters in Juventus history.
