What a man.
Gianluigi Buffon showed pure class at the final whistle of the Republic of Ireland’s 1-0 win over Italy. Robbie Brady’s brilliant late headed goal, from Wes Hoolahan’s wonderful floated cross, sent Ireland into the last-16 of Euro 2016, where they will play hosts France in Lyon on Sunday.
Buffon showed pure class and offered an example of how to behave when being on the end of a poor result – we’re looking at you, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The legendary Italian goalkeeper, who didn’t start the game, made his way for Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane as soon as the final whistle went, offering the Ireland management team warm congratulations.
Pure class.
Straight after the final whistle, Buffon comes over to Keane and O'Neill to congratulate them. Brilliant. #IRLITA pic.twitter.com/A3jEuYsz1B
