Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon has escaped a match ban following a viral video on social media that showed him using a blasphemous word when addressing teammate Manolo Portanova during Juventus's 4-0 win over Parma last weekend.
“I want to see you stay there, running and suffering,” Buffon said before using a blasphemous word.
“I don’t care about anything else,” he added.

But in Bryan's case, the blasphemy was heard by the referee and reported by the Federal Prosecutor. The 25-year-old Italy international midfielder was sanctioned for swearing after he conceded an own goal during Sunday’s 5-1 Serie A win over Bologna.
"(Cristante) pronounced a blasphemous expression in the 23rd minute of the first half," the Lega Serie A said in a statement without specifying the nature of the offending remark.
"The player in question was clearly framed by the television footage while uttering a blasphemous expression that is identifiable and audible without margin of reasonable doubt."
