While the Portugal icon remains at the top of the game, there is growing support for Buffon, 39, to be named the world's player of the year for his role in Juventus' journey to Saturday's Champions League final against Madrid and winning another Serie A title. And while Carlos believes Buffon's place in history is secure, he feels Ronaldo will continue to dominate titles and individual accolades.
"Of course, Buffon is the best goalkeeper in history but for what Cristiano is doing, it’s difficult to take the Ballon d’Or from him. He is the best in the world," Carlos told Goal ahead of the clash in Cardiff which sees the two go head-to-head.
The 44-year-old, who enjoyed a trophy-laden 11-year spell at the Santiago Bernabeu, also expressed hope that Juventus ace Paulo Dybala, who has been linked with a host of top clubs, can make a move to Madrid in the future. Maybe one day he can wear the t-shirt of the biggest club in the world!"
Meanwhile, Dani Alves has been key for Massimiliano Allegri's side's run to the Champions League final. Despite having enjoyed a stellar career as a right-back, Carlos feels the former Barcelona man hasn't eclipsed the achievements of Cafu, another great Brazilian full-back.
