Inter qualified for the next stage of the Italian Cup yesterday (Tuesday), after winning 1:2 at the end of extra time over second division team Parma.
The game did not rise to a high level, but the visiting goalkeeper did.
It is not an unknown goalkeeper, but an immortal goalkeeper, the never-ending Gigi Buffon, who at the age of 44 showed up at San Siro, probably for the last Italian Cup match of his career, and displayed unimaginable ability for his age.
Buffon did not prevent Parma from being relegated, but provided a superb display between the posts, not letting his advanced age get in the way.
He recorded a high number of stops, including some amazing ones.
Da interista penso che fischiare #Buffon è inconcepibile.
Da italiano è proprio impossibile.
Che leggenda!
45 years 👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/MK7YwoOQEU

He received an ugly reception from Inter fans, who did not forget the long years he stood in the hair of the hated rival Juventus.
They whistled at him, cursed him and did everything to distract him.
In response, Buffon, as mentioned, gave one of the greatest goalkeeping displays the Italian Cup has seen, and you know, maybe he will surprise and return here next season as well, at the age of 45.
