Buffon shows his class following defeat to Napoli

The Serie A leaders suffered a crushing 1-0 defeat to their rivals at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening, defender Kalidou Koulibaly heading home in the final minute to blow the title race wide open.

However, whilst many Juventus players understandably left the pitch quickly, Buffon stayed to congratulate each opposing player.

The move will no doubt dispel the criticism received by the Italian legend following the incident in the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid when Buffon was given a red card for aggressively protesting in referee Michael Oliver's face, before preceding to verbally attack the official in following interviews.

In the video, Buffon can be seen to approach opposing striker, Lorenzo Insigne, shaking his hand whilst appearing to offer him some congratulatory words.
