Buffon: 'Let's win Euro 2012 for the fans'

Gianluigi Buffon has revealed that he is keen to win Euro 2012 tomorrow evening for the Italian supporters.

Despite the current financial problems across Europe, several thousand Italy fans have made the trip to Poland and Ukraine this summer to support the Azzurri over the past few weeks.

Taking that into consideration, the veteran goalkeeper has admitted that he will be giving his all to win the tournament.

"We are there, lads... We are there, fans... We are there, people," the Juventus keeper wrote on his Facebook page.

"We are doing it for us, but also for you, who fire me up and take away two hours of every day so I can watch the street celebrations on YouTube.

"For you who never abandoned us, for you who would've honoured the shirt the same way we are doing it... but also for The Dream."

Standing in Italy's way of success are defending champions Spain, who will attempt to become the first nation to win three major tournaments in a row.
