Watch: Vacationing Buffon plays goalie during kids' match

Gianluigi Buffon continues to prove why he's one of football's most beloved figures.

Just two weeks removed from the heartbreak of Italy's elimination from Euro 2016, the legendary Juventus 'keeper offered his elite services between the pipes to a group of Italian children playing a football match.

Buffon, who is enjoying some much-deserved time off as he vacationed in Marina di Massa, near Pisa, Italy, was pictured in goal during a match between young children hoping to get one by the famous Juventus netminder.

The 38-year-old will begin his 21st season in professional football when Juventus opens its title defence next month.
