The end of the football season brings with it joys and pains, tears and smiles. We have seen many tears these days: those of Paulo Dybala after the defeat of Rome in the final of Europa League (but the ones from when he left last year were more moving Juve), those of Zlatan Ibrahimovic who said goodbye to Milan and football, but above all that of Gigi Buffon who went under the Parma curve to apologize to the fans for the failed promotion to Serie A. Buffon will go down in football history as one of the best goalkeepers ever and will be remembered as the Italy goalkeeper who won the 2006 World of Germany against everyone's predictions. He felt he owed a debt to the club that had launched him and that has been sadly navigating in Serie B for years. He wanted to bring Parma back to Serie A but couldn't do it. Football is sometimes cruel but Buffon's bitter tears remind us that there is still a soul. Great Gigi.
Gigi Buffon, bitter tears over Parma's flop are worth winning the 2006 World Cup
Buffon's tears over Parma's failure to be promoted to Serie A, which launched him into the Olympus of goalkeepers many years ago, show that sometimes football still has a soul
