Only those players who are ready to give everything for success always play for this team. In this match, the players gave it their all. And even though we failed to win, we demonstrated our will.
Was it a penalty kick? I didn't see that episode, everything happened far away from me. But the referee didn't work this match very well. He made mistakes in both directions and allowed players to act too roughly. There is no point in discussing what could have happened. Now we will go to Euro 2024 to defend the title," Tuttomercato quoted Buffon as saying.
