A Clip Of Gianluigi Buffon Doing Freestyle Has Gone Viral And He's Surprisingly Good

While the great Gianluigi Buffon was promoting the new Azzurri shirt, Juventus' greatest ever goalkeeper veered away to the streets to perform some skills with famous freestyler and Puma ambassador, Lisa Zimouche.

Zimouche, who has also appeared in a viral video with Ronaldinho, shows off her skills to the Italy number one and in a surprising turn of events, Buffon shows that despite his profession as a goalkeeper, the 39-year-old can handle himself in the skills department.

As you can see in the clip below, Buffon is eventually nutmegged by the talented freestyler, but he manages to hold his own with a number of impressive skills:

From Andrea Pirlo retiring in a blaze of glory to this, I honestly can't handle such a range of emotions on a Sunday. Stop this madness.

You've got to admire Zimouche's courage to perform skills in front of arguably the greatest goalkeeper in recent history, but she's got experience of producing the goods in pressure situations.

I don't think i'd be able to pass a ball properly if Ronaldinho was watching, never mind produce some incredible tricks, but French freestyler Lisa Zimouche managed to leave the former Barcelona and PSG forward speechless.

Ronaldinho was caught on hidden camera during his visit to the Parc des Princes, but was stopped when Zimouchs produced a number of advanced skills in the street.

'You're really good, well done.' Ronaldinho beamed, clapping the 17-year-old as she looked on, nervously.

Zimouche, who won the World Female Panna Championship two years ago at the age of 15, was in shock towards the end of the clip.

The youngster has over 650,000 Instagram followers following her appearances in various viral videos. She started competing in 2012 and at the of 13, she was part of the Red Bull Street Style World Final.

Both PSG and Lisa uploaded the above video to their official Instagram accounts. Brilliant.

Earlier this year, Zimouche took on Granit Xhaka, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hector Bellerin and Shkodran Mustafi in a nutmeg challenge.

The 18-year-old dazzled the Premier League players, and showed exactly why she was the World Female Panna Championship two years ago.

Keep up the good work, Lisa.
