Whilst the Italy fans in the San Siro were demonstrating a sheer lack of respect during the Swedish national anthem, Buffon lead by example and showed respect to the opponents by applauding strongly and continuously whilst the anthem sounded around the stadium.
Even with so much at stake for the veteran goalkeeper, he continued to show respect for his rivals on the night. What a gentleman.
Mientras el público pita el himno de Suecia, Buffon lo aplaude. Un señor. #DestinoRusia pic.twitter.com/6FQncoAhXJ
