“Did I have hope when I saw Pirlo on the free kick? Of course," said Buffon.
"There’s always hope when Pirlo’s on the ball, even if he’s in my penalty area. He’s one of those players who allows you to dream at any given moment when he has the ball at his feet.
Pirlo’s free-kick goal means Juventus increase their lead over second-placed Roma to 17 points with Roma set to play Udinese on Monday night.
