Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has urged his side to treat every league match as if it were a final in order to avoid losing points to their rivals this season, starting with the clash against Chievo Verona on Sunday.

"We have to take the field in every match with the desire to not allow points for our opponents, because every point could weigh on the final standings," he explained on his own official website, gianluigibuffon.com.

The Bianconeri are eager to win the Scudetto in 2009-10, after an ambitious summer transfer campaign that featured the arrivals of Diego from Werder Bremen, Felipe Melo from Fiorentina, and Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid.
