Gianluigi Buffon drops shorts to give to Juventus fan after Barcelona Champions League draw
The Juve keeper had already promised Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic his shirt, so sent his shorts into the stands instead.
GIANLUIGI BUFFON stripped to his shorts in an unconventional post-match celebration and threw them into the crowd for an overly-keen Juventus fan.
Although many were shocked by the move, it was a touch of class by the Italian keeper who didn't want to disappoint fans after he had already promised Ivan Rakitic his shirt.
Rakitic had reached out to Buffon on social media after he was devastated to watch the legend have to bow out of international football without reaching the World Cup- touched by his words, Buffon had promised the Croatian his shirt.
Buffon kept another clean sheet for his side in their clash against Barcelona, which leaves the Italian side in second place in their Champions League group.
The shot-stopper evidently chuffed with his side's performance waved to home fans, in appreciation, as he paraded through the box after the final whistle.
When he reached the penalty spot, he began to pull down his shorts over his ankles and sent them into the crowd.
The 39-year-old Juve star drew wolf whistles from the crowd as he stripped to his underwear.
As cheers rang throughout the stadium for the football legend, he then ran to the tunnel in just a pair of white y-fronts and waved to the crowd before shaking the mascot's hands.

The celebration is a far-cry from the post-match emotions that were seen when Italy were forced out of the World-Cup by Sweden.
Following the game, Buffon was overcome with emotions and tearfully announced that he was retiring from international football.
