The legendary goalkeeper confirmed post-game that the second-leg disappointment against Sweden was his final match for the Azzurri

Gianluigi Buffon has confirmed his retirement from international play after Italy's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
The legendary goalkeeper had previously indicated his intention to step away from the Azzurri following the tournament in Russia. But Italy were eliminated from contention for the World Cup with a 0-0 second-leg draw against Sweden on Monday in Milan, as the visitors advanced on aggregate following a 1-0 win in the first leg.
It marked the first time the four-time World Cup winners had missed the finals since 1958. image image
