"I cry often and I cry alone. Crying helps - it frees you and makes you feel human," he said during the mini-series."I never cry for football. I can be touched but it's not about the defeat itself. It's something more complex and romantic."  Buffon retired from international duty last year following Italy's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, with the Azzurri losing a two-leg play-off against Sweden to miss out on a trip to Russia.</blockquote>
