Juventus goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon has penned a letter to his goal post after creating a Serie A record by completing 930 minutes without conceding a goal during his side's match against Torino on Sunday, March 20.

The 38-year-old overtook Sebastiano Rossi's previous best of 929 minutes, for AC Milan in 1993-94, by keeping his goal intact for the first four minutes of the match, having kept clean sheets in each of the 10 previous games.

He last conceded a goal in the 64th minute of the 2-1 win over Sampdoria on January 10.
The Italy international shared the letter to his goal post on his Twitter.
Translated to English, the post reads: "I was 12 when I turned my back on you, denying my past to guarantee you a safe future.
"I went with my heart.
 
"I went with my instinct.
"But the day I stopped looking you in the face is also the day that I started to love you.
"To protect you.
"To be your first and last line of defence.
"I promised myself that I would do everything not to see your face again. Or that I would do it as little as possible. It was painful every time I did, turning around and realising I had disappointed you.
"Again.
"And again.
"We have always been opposites yet we are complementary, like the sun and the moon. Forced to live side by side without being able to touch. Team-mates for life, a life in which we are denied all contact.
"More than 25 years ago I made my vow: I swore to protect you. Look after you. A shield against all your enemies. I've always thought about your welfare, putting it first even ahead of my own.
"I was 12 when I turned my back on my goal. And I will keep doing it as long as my legs, my head and my heart will allow."

BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA

Ever since i started reading the manga series i started wondering how much it reminds me of NARUTO, especially this character IZUKU MIDORIYA the main protagonist. Summary Izuku Midoriya is the main protagonist of My Hero Academia. Originally born without a Quirk, Izuku spent most of his life growing up ostracized from the paranormal community around him, though harboring a seemingly impossible vision to become a hero like his idol, the legendary All Might. Having caught the hero's attention, he has since become his close pupil and a student at Yuuei, where his valiant efforts have won him the respect of his classmates albeit forming a tense rivalry with his childhood friend Katsuki Bakugou. He is a very timid person who is easily shocked by the wacky events in heroic life, but is very diligent, strong-willed, and an idealist who will always try to rescue someone in danger, often biting off more than he can chew in the process. Powers and Stats Tier: High 8-C | At least...
