Gianluigi Buffon's Juventus career is in the books.

The iconic Italian stopper has made his final appearance for the club, bowing out through a guard of honour while receiving a standing ovation from the entire crowd.

Max Allegri hauled off Buffon in the 63rd minute.

A guard of honour was formed by his teammates and staff, with Buffon hugging each individual in truly emotional scenes.

His son was also reduced to tears.

Not a dry eye in the house.

Buffon has forged an incredible career, and legacy at Juventus. A true legend.

Meanwhile, as for the actual Serie A game versus Verona, Juventus went two-up thanks to Daniele Rugani then Miralem Pjanic.

A few minutes after Buffon left the field, Juventus conceded. They're going to miss him between the sticks.

End of an era.
