Gianluigi Buffon isn't finished, after all.
After a tough couple of weeks during which the iconic shot-stopper made glaring errors at both international and club level, the Juventus star stepped up in a massive moment for his side on Tuesday.
With the Old Lady locked in a stalemate against Lyon, and the prolific Alexandre Lacazette standing at the penalty spot, Buffon came up with an enormous stop to keep the Group H contest goalless.
