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.
