Life at 40! Buffon celebrates injury return, birthday with penalty save https://goo.gl/CGCH88 Ben Valentine Days after turning 40, the Italy legend made his comeback from a near two-month injury layoff and stopped a penalty It was like Gianluigi Buffon had not missed any time at all. The Italy legend returned for Juventus on Tuesday for their Coppa Italia semi-final first leg away to Atalanta after missing nearly two months with a calf injury. And he did so in fine form, saving a penalty in a 1-0 Juventus win. Buffon had not played since 1-0 win over Napoli on December 1 thanks to the injury. During his injury layoff, the Juventus legend celebrated a birthday, turning 40 on January 28. He marked his return and birthday with a 25th minute save of Alejandro Gomez, diving to his left to keep out the attempt. The stop saved blushes for Medhi Benatia, who was deemed to have handled the ball in the area following a video review. Buffon was not needed much in the contest after that stop, but he came up big late to deny Atalanta an equalizer with minutes remaining in the game. It was the 20th penalty save Buffon has made for Juventus since his arrival in 2001 from Parma. However, interestingly enough, it was actually the first time Buffon had saved a penalty in the Coppa Italia excluding extra time and penalty shoot-outs. -- 摘要如下: 1.隊長大人在1/28滿40歲了 2.義盃撲掉Gomez的這記PK是2001入隊以來的第20次撲點 3.不過這是Buffon生涯第1個在義大利盃的撲點紀錄 補充1.阿囧的賽後訪談提到Buffon已經5季不曾在義大利盃出賽了 補充2.隊長大人的40大壽官網推出了限量1111件的黑色GK服狠撈一票 補充3.附上官網日前的祝壽影片https://youtu.be/7wzoBQ9pJEY --
