Gianluigi Buffon Celebrates Italy's Euro 2016 Win by Jumping onto Crossbar

You can't blame Gianluigi Buffon for getting carried away.

Italy weren't fancied to win their Euro 2016 opener against Belgium in Lyon, France, on Monday, but thanks to goals by Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle, they saw off the world's second-ranked side, 2-0.

And the result got the Azzurri's veteran goalkeeper rather excited, as he sprinted the length of the field not once, but twice, to celebrate Pelle's injury-time goal and revel in the victory by leaping onto the crossbar.

The only problem? He fell flat onto his backside.

Still, though—three points will have softened the impact.
