He's seen as sour and bitter worldwide

People forget everything about him except that moment

That was too high stakes IMO. WC final beats a CL competition anyday. So its understandable. Regardless his positive moments still outweigh his negative moments.

 

[juve123]

Yes, everyone does especially casual fans

It's not the same though because he's got himself a new career as a coach.

Yes but they don't forget what he has achieved in his career same goes for maradona

I'm saying overall, that shouldnt be remembered as one of the defining moments in his career.

He's gone completely berserk and lost his composure totally. Atleast Agnelli had some legitimate complaints about Italian teams being penalized by refs in Europe but Buffon on the other hand, a guy who's respected everywhere and a guy who has a 'classy' stature about him continues to rant about the referee. He would've lost some respect around many parts with this behaviour. We would understand his reaction but everyone else wouldnt share the same perspective as us.

I thought you were suggesting him retiring this season will save him some dignity. I disagree with that one.

It's a moment that might have have shifted a few neutrals from sympathizing with him to the opposite

Yes the same neutrals who don't criticise Ronaldo for his diving

Zidane head butting a football player in the world cup final, is the same as Buffon getting sent off for shouting at the ref in the quarters of the CL? Not even close.

Buffon didn't get the red card for shouting. This was what caused the sending off.

Why do I have the feeling he’ll stay on for another year??

You aren't alone, I have the same feeling as well.

 

[Elvin]

Hope he does. To beat Maldini's record if anything.

Not clear enough to be a jab, are you sure he wasn't trying to tug on his shirt to get his attention?

So now Douggie C is responsible for the sending off?

To be fair there are players in the way. You can't see clearly what Costa does.

Oliver clearly wasn't fit for the job. If anything Benatia should have been sent off; second yellow plus preventing a goal scoring opportunity.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

It does see like he pushed the ref but impossible to say for sure from that angle.

Either way the reason for the sending off must be in the ref's post match report. I wish they'd make it public.

 

[zizinho]

Look at Blaise, clearly should have been sent off, according to tuz objective squads logic

 

[Alen]

By not backtracking on his statement, Gigi becomes my all time favorite sportsman.

Our entire team should have been sent off. Juventus should get 5 year ban from CL, and our two CL trophies taken away. Buffon should be stripped off all titles for inciting his private army of unstable internet followers to send death threats to Oliver.

FIGC should use the momentum from this incident to have new Calciopoli investigation, and strip our last 6 titles, relegate us to Lega Pro. Maybe even disband the club.

how do you manage to make everything cringe

Its time to disband club amd start a new. Form a new, Joventus Club de Futbal somewhere in Spain, change the mentality to play a modern game, get Iglo Tare and Simone Inzaghi to headstart the project. Appologize for calciopoli, appologize for gol du Muntari, appologize to Oliver and his family, appologize to UEFA ans Madrid. Only then we can grow as a whole, the Club as well as the fans

This.

In a world of carefully-worded statements, hypocrisy and boring and scripted “answers” in interviews, it’s nice that Gigi still sticks to his convictions and hasn’t shifted his opinion 180 degrees. More proud of him now than I ever was. If only we could see this less statesman-like version of him more in his Juventus career.
