Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon has won 'The Best' goalkeeper award at tonight's FIFA awards.

During his acceptance speech, Buffon hinted he could retire at season's end.

“I think I have to speak in English…" Buffon began, before being informed the event had a translator.

“I want to try to speak [in English]. For me I am very happy because it's a great honour to receive this award at my age.

“I'm proud of it, but I want to say thanks to my club, my Coach, my teammates because they help me to make it possible.

“I want to say thanks to all the people who voted for me, and I think the last year has been a fantastic season for Juventus and personally.

“But it wasn't enough to win in Europe, and for this year I hope that we can play better and with the national team and Juventus, because I would like to finish in soccer with a fantastic victory if it's possible."
