Buffon’s Reflex Save vs. Roberto Carlos (2005 UCL)
Date: March 9, 2005
Competition: UEFA Champions League Round of 16
Fixture: Juventus vs. Real Madrid
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon
Kicker: Roberto Carlos
Shot Type: 30-yard free-kick
Estimated Shot Speed: 140 km/h
Save Action: One-handed parry with his fist.

Physical Impact: Buffon's left ankle buckles and his leg folds under him as he falls into the side netting
Final Match Score: Juventus 2, Real Madrid 0 (AET)
Aggregate Result: Juventus 2, Real Madrid
Initial Plant: Buffon plants his right foot to generate the spring needed to reach the upper corner of the goal.
Impact Force: The ball, traveling at approximately 140 km/h, strikes his  hand with enough force to snap his arm back, shifting his center of gravity while he is mid-air.
Ankle Buckle: As he descends, his left leg reaches for the ground first. Because his torso is still rotating from the save's impact, his left foot lands at an awkward angle.
The Collapse: The ankle undergoes significant eversion (turning outward), causing the joint to buckle under his full body weight as he falls into the side netting.
