The name of the picture



GIANLUIGI BUFFON had a debut to forget for Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday night.


The evergreen Italian stopper, 40, finally left Juventus this summer after 17 years at the club to join the Ligue 1 giants.

But he certainly would have hoped for a better start to life in the French capital.


Buffon managed to give away a fifth-minute penalty during the game - which was promptly converted.



The 176-cap international then conceded another goal before being subbed at half-time of a 4-2 loss at home to third-tier minnows Chambly.


PSG went into the game unbeaten in their last ten matches, while Chambly had failed to win any of their previous eight.

While the reigning French champions went into the game missing a host of stars - currently recovering from the World Cup - they were expected to win easily.


The Ligue 1 side lined-up with big names Adrien Rabiot, Jese Rodriguez and Timothy Weah - as well as Buffon - for the game.



So the manner of the defeat will be something of a concern for the club, with Buffon stating he joined them to help them improve.


On his unveiling, the Italian claimed: "I accepted the offer because the conditions are right for me to progress as a player and as a man - I can help the club progress a little more."
