Legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has not yet announced whether he intends to continue his professional career next season.
However, a looming strict UEFA punishment may push the 40-year-old player to make a crucial decision.
"La Gazzetta dello Sport" reports that the veteran is expected to receive a long-term suspension for his actions in the Champions League quarterfinal match and after the final whistle.
During the match against Madrid's "Real," Buffon was outraged by referee Michael Oliver's decisions, cursed the referee, was sent off the pitch, and later did not hold back his biting comments in various press publications.
UEFA will announce its decision on May 31st.
