# Liverpool’s front three the best in Europe, says Gianluigi Buffon

Legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon doesn’t believe there is a better attack in Europe than Liverpool’s.

The 40-year-old will come up against the Reds on Wednesday night, as Paris Saint-Germain welcome Jurgen Klopp’s side to Parc des Princes.

It is a crucial Champions League meeting, with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino key to Liverpool’s chances.

Speaking to the *[Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/psg-star-reckons-liverpool-front-13652318)*, Buffon believes that front three are the best in the business, despite him playing in the same team as Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani:

> Liverpool have a very strong team – but I do especially look at their front players.

> With Salah, Mane, and Firmino they have so much pace, so much creativity, and of course they are all big goal threats.

> Throughout my career I have always wanted to test myself against the best – and at the moment you really can’t think of any teams in Europe who have a better front three than Liverpool.

Wednesday’s Group C clash is a huge occasion, with a victory for Liverpool sending them into the last-16.

Any other result will likely leave the Reds needing to win at home to Napoli next month – potentially by two clear goals.

Buffon could be kept busy by Liverpool’s attack, but were his comments a way of getting more out of Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani?
