Gianluigi Buffon (19 Viewers)

Not that he should care about it, and he probably doesn't, but a lot of neutral football fans all around the world, who only ever get to see Gigi when he plays for the NT or with Juve in the CL, will remember him for this outburst imo.
Not that there aren't plenty of great things/epic moments to remember him for, but it happened at the end if his career, there isn't much more to come, and people do have short memories. Not to mention it was just so unusual for him to act like that. He's always only spoken about others with respect, Journos and players alike who looked up to him and cocksucked him whenever given the oportunity to do so, naming him as the perfect role model and so on, now see him exposed as salty, bad loser (not my opinion, just reading what has been written on websites over the past few days).
He didn't headbutt another player, but given the timing, and most importantly how unusual it was for him to act like that made it worse than it actually was. If it was any other player, i'd say who gives a fuck? But Gigi was/is the ultimate nice guy in football, not anymore. It's a sour taste that will stay imo.
It's obviously gonna change nothing for Juve fans, for whom he's won tons of trophies for, bleeding the club colours for decades now, but imo it might very well change how the neutral looks at him.

Dunno... Tom Henning Øvrebø, Cüneyt Çakır (Nani red card), Howard Webb (known for being biased at Man Utd) says hi.
Deniz Aytekin will also be remembered years from now after what happened Barca-PSG game.
How can you guys be so sure about that?
Especially if Buffon has made his last ever CL-match or Real Madrid ending up winning the UCL.
The incident has definitely ruined Buffon's reputation as an classy gentleman for people outside Italy (although it's not the first time Buffon has made unsportsmanlike post game comments, illegal bets etc.)

english playing the victim 
Exactly. English media and objectivity 
Another attention seeking whore of a journalist trying to get in on the whole Buffon debate
I sincerely hope Buffon doesn't apologize for his actions. Fuck Oliver the cunt; he should learn to deal with the pressure that comes with being a referee. I'm definitely not condoning the death threats and attacks as that is disgusting, but Buffon is not responsible or liable for people's retarded behavior and reactions. Also, what he said, unfiltered and candid, in the heat of the moment, should not be held against him. Perhaps he should have worded things more carefully, and he admitted to that, but there's no reason to issue a full apology.

Of course it's the self-confessed Premier League fanboi who brings a daily mail trash piece here to "challenge our cognitive bias" and troll the Buffon thread a little more.

It's pretty clear being too nice isn't the way to CL titles.

English media and their disgusting hypocrisy makes me sick.
