Gianluigi Buffon's infamous "you don't know s***" rant after Cristiano Ronaldo meeting

When Cristiano Ronaldo scores the winning goal in a Champions League quarter-final, it's all about him - most of the time.

But on April 11 2018, Gianluigi Buffon threatened to steal CR7's limelight with one of modern football's most infamous post-match outbursts. The legendary Italian goalkeeper unloaded on referee Michael Oliver, who controversially awarded Real Madrid with a 93rd-minute penalty to prevent Buffon's Juventus from completing a sensational comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu.

While it was Bianconeri defender Medhi Benatia who barged into Los Blancos forward Lucas Vazquez for the calamitous foul, an enraged Buffon went ballistic at Oliver after the English official blew his whistle and pointed to the spot. The veteran, 40 at the time but still going strong for Parma today, was shown a straight red card for dissent, denying him the chance to stop Ronaldo from scoring and take the second leg to extra-time with the scores 3-3 on aggregate.
