He might be the most celebrated goalkeeper in modern football. He might have 158 caps. He might have been called "the best goalkeeper I have ever faced" by Zlatan Ibrahimovic but that doesn't mean that Gianluigi Buffon can't make an unholy show out of himself when the mood takes him.
"Buffon, one of the finest players in the history of the game. He's 40 now" - Eamon Dunphy talking about 38-year-old Gianluigi Buffon.

He sprinted from his goals following Italy's surprise 2-0 win over Belgium in Ireland's Group E tonight - and hung off the opposing goalframe - before falling and creasing himself.
Here's hoping he shows similar grip when Ireland play his Italian side on Wednesday week at 8pm.
