During Juventus' open-top bus title parade, Wojciech Szczesny demonstrated great reflexes to catch a plastic horn that was thrown towards the bus. Who needs Buffon?

Although Juventus' season has ended successfully, with the Turin side completing a domestic double, it has been bittersweet due to the news that club legend Gigi Buffon is moving on from the club.

Much has been said about Buffon since he announced he would be bringing his time with the side to an end after 17 years between the sticks, including rumours over who Juve are planning to buy to replace the Italian, but on Sunday, the club's second keeper made an unexpected case for himself.

While the players were celebrating their Serie A win, with an open-top bus parade around Turin, a member of the jubilant crowd lobbed a plastic horn towards the bus, presumably to give to one of the players.

Demonstrating great vision and reflex, Wojciech Szczesny plucked the instrument out of the air, making a catch that a cricketer would be proud of. He then proceeded to blow his own trumpet, with a look of pride in his eyes.

Are you watching Massimiliano Allegri? Maybe there's no need to splash the cash on a new keeper this summer.
