Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is looking forward to a spectacular evening of football in Parma, as the Azzurri face neighbours France in the pick of tonight's friendly internationals


The European giants clashed in the 2000 European Championship final, with France emerging victorious, before Italy got their revenge by winning their fourth World Cup in 2006 in dramatic fashion. The 34-year-old keeper told Le Parisien: "It promises to be a great spectacle and it certainly has a special flavour.u00a0

France remain a major player in European football and playing against Les Bleus is like playing in a derby."

France striker Bafetimbi Gomis is delighted to see Lyon midfielder Yoann Gourcuff back in the national team since May. He told fff.fr: "He always thinks of the team and it's good to have such an unselfish teammate."
