In the summer of 2011, Conte took the helm of Juventus and revitalized the club. Under his command, Juventus gradually rose to prominence, and Buffon also regained his former style, and his girlfriend, Alena Seredova, entered into marriage. 2011-2012 season, Buffon in 35 Serie A matches, 21 shutouts, only conceded 20 goals, to help Juventus undefeated to regain the Serie A title. However, a controversial penalty call put Juventus out of reach of the victory. In the match against AC Milan, Buffon pounced on Muntari's header. Slow-motion showed that the ball had crossed the goal line, but the referee did not give a penalty because VAR had not yet been popularized. In the end, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, Milan failed to capitalize on this crucial battle, and Juventus was able to hold off their rivals to win the title.
Afterwards, referee Tagliavento admitted it was a clear miscarriage of justice, and some even believe it rewrote Milan's history. Milan veteran Nocerino said, "That moment changed Milan's future, if Muntari's goal had been valid and Milan had won, then stars such as Ibe and Thiago Silva wouldn't have returned at the end of the season, and the club would have invested more. The goal disappeared like a ghost and changed Milan's history." It's worth noting that Buffon, who was a party to the incident, didn't admit that the ball had crossed the goal line in the first place, saying after the game, "Even if I knew the ball had crossed the goal line, I wouldn't have said it. I won't do anything that's not good for my team."
In the summer of 2012, Buffon led the Italian team to shock the European Cup champions. As Cannavaro retired after the 2010 World Cup, Buffon took over the captaincy of the Italian team, which also basically followed the Juventus backline. Buffon's performance in Euro 2012 was outstanding, especially in the semifinal match against Germany, where he repeatedly pounced on key shots, leading Italy to beat Germany 2-1 and enter the final. However, in the final, Italy encountered the powerful Spain, and eventually suffered a 0-4 defeat, and came in second place.
In the 2012-2013 season, Gianluigi Buffon succeeded Piero as Juventus' captain and led the team to successfully defend the Serie A title. At that time, Juventus' dominance in the league was unshakeable, and they were no longer satisfied with the league title, and regarded the Champions League title as the ultimate goal.In the summer of 2014, Buffon once again followed the Italian team to participate in the World Cup, which was also his last World Cup. Italy was placed in the Group of Death, with England, Uruguay and Costa Rica in the same group. Buffon missed the first game against England due to injury, and although he returned in the second group game and played well against Uruguay, making four key saves, he still couldn't prevent the team from losing consecutively, and Italy ended up only ranking third in the group, leaving the tournament after the group stage for the second consecutive World Cup.
After experiencing an exit from the World Cup in Brazil, Buffon's first marriage came to an end in 2014. He divorced Alena Seredova and their married life lasted only three years. Returning to the club, Buffon set out anew and continued to challenge for higher peaks in his career.In the 2014-2015 season, Allegri succeeded Conte as the new Juventus manager and led the team to the Champions League final after 12 years, against La Liga giants Barcelona. At that time, Barcelona team has Messi, Suarez and Neymar's MSN combination, the final Juventus 1-3 defeated Barcelona, the runner-up.
Soon after Buffon's divorce, he soon made a new love, he and the famous Italian sports program host Ilaria D'Amico established a romantic relationship, which is a sibling love, Buffon is 5 years younger than Ilaria.In January 2016, Buffon and Ilaria D'Amico's son was born, which is Buffon's third son.In the summer of 2017, the two were engaged to be married. It is worth mentioning that before Buffon divorced his ex-wife Alena Seredova, there were rumors that Buffon and Ilaria D'Amico cheated on each other in private, and it was Buffon's cheating that led to the breakdown of his marriage with Alena Seredova.
