Buffon Bids Tearful Farewell To Juve After 656 Games by 9Ebisco: 8:57pm On May 19, 2018 |
Talismanic goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon bid a tearful farewell to Juventus after 17 seasons at the club. The Italian played his last match for them in a 2-1 win over relegated Verona on Saturday. The Turin side, who clinched their seventh consecutive Serie A title a week ago, were leading 2-0 when Buffon was substituted. It was just after the hour in his 656th appearance for the club in all competitions. The 2006 World Cup winner handed his captain’s armband to midfielder Claudio Marchisio then hugged several team mates and rival players as he left the field in tears to a standing ovation. He then walked around the perimeter, shaking hands with supporters in the front row. Buffon was replaced by third-choice goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio, who made his first appearance for the club. He won nine Serie A and four Coppa Italia titles with Juventus and had kept 300 clean sheets heading into Saturday’s match. Buffon, who announced on Thursday that he would leave Juventus at the end of the season, had one save to make when he blocked a shot by Mohamed Fares in the first half. Daniele Rugani put Juventus ahead four minutes after halftime from a rebound when Douglas Costa’s shot was parried by Verona goalkeeper Nicolas. Miralem Pjanic added a second from a free kick three minutes later. Alessio Cerci scored a consolation for Verona in the 76th minute. Full back Stephan Lichtsteiner had a penalty saved by Nicolas in the 85th minute. He, like Buffon, was also playing his final match for Juventus after seven seasons at the club. Juventus completed the 38-match campaign with 95 points from 30 wins, five draws and three defeats. http://www.mcebisco.com.ng/2018/05/buffon-bids-tearful-farewell-to-juve.html 34 Likes 3 Shares

![]() Such a lacklustre career. Imagine the years he put into football yet he never lifted a mere Champion's league cup. I know the real reason he is retiring is because of how bad Cristiano Ronaldo humiliated him and the sad realization that CR7 will be lifting the Champions league cup again this year. 3 times in a row. I'm happy for him sha, He can go back to receiving BJs on yachts. 74 Likes 10 Shares |
