Louis Buffon bags first hat-trick

Louis Buffon, son of Italy and Juventus legend Gianluigi, in action for Serie B side Pisa.

Unlike his famous father, perhaps the greatest goalkeeper of all time, Louis plays as a striker.

He was leading the line in today’s 6-1 victory over Azerbaijan in Ta’Qali and was the star of the show with a hat-trick.

These were his first goals for Czechia at Under-19 level in his fifth cap, along with an assist.

He had started out his playing career in the Juventus academy and moved to Pisa in the summer of 2023.

The teenager made his Serie A debut on October 5 this year against Bologna, where his coach at Pisa is Alberto Gilardino, another member of the 2006 World Cup winning squad.
