The veteran former Italy number one kept his place in the side, with Wojciech Szczesny named on the bench at Allianz Stadium.
Buffon, 41, was an Italy team-mate of former Milan defender Maldini, who retired in 2009 at the age of 40.
Buffon’s Serie A debut came for Parma in 1995 when he shut out Milan in a 0-0 draw against the team that would go on to win the title.
He went on to join Juve in 2001 in a £32.6million deal, making him the world’s most expensive goalkeeper.
It proved to be money well invested as he spent 17 years in a first spell with the Turin giants, staying at the club following relegation amid Italian football’s Calciopoli scandal and helping Juventus reel off seven successive Scudetti before leaving for Paris Saint-Germain in 2018.
After a year in France, Buffon returned to Juventus last July, competing with Szczesny for the starting role in Maurizio Sarri’s team since then.
At the end of June, Buffon signed new a contract to keep him at Juve for at least another year.
