Why i gave fan my shorts- Buffon reveals

Juventus goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon has explained why he shocked one supporter by giving him his shorts after Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Barcelona.

Buffon returned to Juve squad for the first time since his emotional retirement from international football after Italy’s failure to qualify for the Russia 2018 World Cup.

The 39-year-old, who was excited after the match, ran to hug Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic following a social media exchange on the eve of the game when the Croatian had said he would love to tell Buffon to take his place in the 2018 World Cup.

After embracing Rakitic, the Italian keeper then pulled off his orange shorts and ran towards the tunnel to salute the delighted fans.

Buffon, who earned a record 175 caps for Italy over 20 years, had been targeting a record sixth World Cup appearance in Russia.

The goalkeeper took to his Twitter account to explain what it meant to him after giving the supporter his shorts.

He wrote, “This is only a point tonight, but it’s a good point.

“It’s always a pleasure and an honour to play against great champions, like Ivan Rakitic,” Buffon Tweeted.

Juventus remain second in the group and can secure their qualification with victory at Olympiakos on December 5, while Barcelona advanced to the last 16 after the 0-0 draw in Turin.

Guardiola vows to ”kill” Man City team if they fail to win EPL

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has vowed to kill his players if they fail to finish the English Premier League (EPL) season without the title. Guardiola said there was no chance of his team becoming complacent despite their superb form to the start of the season. Manchester City continued their EPL dominance with a 2-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday. City have made a flying start to the season, dropping just two points from the first 12 games and are 8-point lead at the top of the table, scoring 40 goals and conceding just seven. “That is not going to happen because I am their manager,” Guardiola said. “The team, that is not going to happen. I’ll kill them. Complacency doesn’t happen in my teams. “They can play bad, teams are going to beat us, that happens. “But if you see the team, they have the desire to have the ball and play. We are not a team that speculates about absolutely anything. That’s not going to happen.”
