#1 Italy vs France, 2006 World Cup Final
Trending
Probably the most important save in Buffon's decorated career-- this special effort turned out to be the match winner for Italy at the end of the day. Both Italy and France were locked 1-1 after full time and the match went into extra-time. During the 13th minute of extra time, Zinedine Zidane powerfully headed a cross from the right wing goalwards.
Buffon leapt up into the air and tipped the ball over the crossbar leaving the Frenchmen in utter disbelief. Italy eventually went on to win the World cup as they beat France 5-3 in penalties. It still remains the most vital save made in Buffon's career.
