Louis Buffon, the son of Juventus and Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon, made his professional debut for Serie B side Pisa on Sunday.

Unlike his World-Cup winning father, who made more than 1,000 professional appearances during a glittering career as a goalkeeper before retiring in 2023 – the 17-year-old is a left-sided attacking player.

Forward Louis was introduced as a late substitute by Pisa boss Filippo Inzaghi – who played alongside his dad for the Azzurri – as they fell to a 3-2 defeat at Spezia.

Pisa, who are second in the table, are looking to return to the top flight for the first time since 1991.

Turin-born Louis recently elected to represent the Czech Republic, where his mother is from, at under-18 level.
