Andrea Pirlo claims he would have reacted to Juventus' heartbreaking Champions League exit at Real Madrid in the same manner as Gianluigi Buffon.
Buffon vehemently disputed referee Michael Oliver's decision to award Madrid a stoppage-time penalty that curtailed the Bianconeri's fightback from a three-goal first-leg deficit.
Cristiano Ronaldo beat Wojciech Szczesny from the resultant spot-kick after Buffon's remonstrations were met with a red card as the hosts prevailed 4-3 on aggregate.
The Italy goalkeeper later called Oliver's character into question, describing him as having a "garbage bin" for a heart, but Pirlo defended his former team-mate's emotional response in what is likely to be the 40-year-old's final Champions League game.
