Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon just broke a 22-year-old Serie A record - at the age of 38

You can't not love Gigi Buffon.

Not only is he quite literally the cooolest goalkeeper that ever lived he's so charming even referees wans to kiss him .

He's also been one of - if not the - world's best goalkeepers for the past two decades, having racked up nearly 800 appearances for Parma and Juventus and countless trophies along the way.

And now, at the grand old age of 38, he has set a new Serie A record for going the longest amount of minutes without conceding.

On Sunday, Andrea Belotti's penalty just after half time for Torino was the first goal Buffon had conceded in 974 MINUTES of league football. Juve went on to win 4-1 against their cross-city rivals and move six points clear at the top of thet able.

The last goal he conceded before that was to Sampdoria's Antonio Cassano back on January 10th.

The previous record was set by AC Milan's Sebastiano Rossi way back in 1994 - before Buffon had even made his professional debut for Parma.

Rossi's record of 929 minutes without conceding in Serie A stood for 22 years before Buffon's intervention.

Weird, though, that it's taken Buffon 21 years of playing at the very top to break the recorc but still, there probably isn't a more worthy shot-stopper in Italy to do such a thing.
