The Portuguese ace and the Italian veteran shared one final moment after the controversial matchup between Juventus and Real Madrid.

Once again, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gianluigi Buffon showed that whatever happens on the pitch doesn't have to have an effect in their respect for one another.

Following Real Madrid's 3-1 loss against Juventus, which ended in a controversial penalty and sending off for Buffon, both footballers ran into each other in the mixed-zone.

Buffon was talking to some members of the media when CR7 interrupted him. The two legends shared an embrace, and during that hug, Cristiano Ronaldo could be heard whispering "sorry" to the Italian shot-stopper.

Have a look at the moment where CR7 and Buffon paid their respects to each other.
