Buffon tried the "swinging on the crossbar" post-match celebration again yesterday - this time he managed it, rather than falling off and crashing on his back. Man that age should have more sense.
aww that is too cute <3 edit - btw, they also mention a possible superstitious explanation for the gesture: ladybugs are considered to bring luck in italy, and friday the 17th is the italian equivalent of friday the 13th.
That photo is really awesome! Especially Buffon, haha.
Isn't it weird how different days count as unlucky ones around the world? I used to think Friday the 13th was universal, but in Spain it's Tuesday the 13th, for example.
I laughed so hard when I found that out because I was evicted from my house on Tuesday 13th because belgian taxes falsely thought we had a house in Spain we hadn't claimed.
And on a rather cuter note, here is an Italian defender before the match, saving a ladybug from the pitch.
