When considering why Gianluigi Buffon has been named the Bianconeri's MVP for October, as voted by the supporters here at Juventus.com, you need not look much further than the captain's sensational show at Parc-OL in his team's narrow 1-0 victory over Lyon.
The first-half penalty save from Alexandre Lacazette and the gravity-defying intervention to take Nabil Fekir's deflected shot over the crossbar were in themselves enough to make Gigi a prime contender for this month's prize but it wasn't just in France that the skipper earned your votes.
Making crucial stops throughout the past four weeks, Gianluigi continues to demonstrate just why, for some, he remains Numero Uno in the world game.
Buffon will collect his "MVP of the Month powered by EA" award on Saturday 19 November before Juve's next league fixture against Pescara and, as ever, one lucky J-Member will be there to do the honours.
Congratulations, Capitano!
