Buffon enraged

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was left fuming as he went off the pitch despite Italy having qualified for the Euro 2012 final with a 2-1 win over Germany.

The 34-year-old Juventus stopper had made half a dozen crucial stops to help his side to a 2-0 halftime lead following a brace from Mario Balotelli.

But Buffon was left incensed that his side was hanging on at the final whistle after spurning at least four counter-attacking opportunities to put the game to bed when still leading by two goals.
