Gianluigi Buffon
28-year career. 2006 World Cup. 974 minutes without conceding. 10 Serie A titles. Record 5 UEFA GK awards.
Gianluigi Buffon's 28-year top-flight career (1995–2023) sets a longevity benchmark that no other goalkeeper on this list, including Lev Yashin's 22 years, can match. In Serie A, he amassed 657 clean sheets in 656 games at one point and won 10 league titles with Juventus. Named UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year a record five times (compared to Peter Schmeichel's two IFFHS awards), his composure under pressure was evident in 2006 World Cup final penalty saves.
