Juve went down 1-0 to Milan in the 32nd minute after Mauricio Isla was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the box, with Robinho duly converting the spot-kick.
The defeat for the Biaconeri still left them top of the Serie A standings, but now only four points ahead of Fiorentina, who drew 2-2 at Torino last time out.
Buffon was surprisingly magnanimous following his side's defeat, although the Italy shot-stopper believes the Rossoneri did not deserve to concede the penalty.
He said: "The replay is clear. It wasn't a penalty, but that wasn't the reason behind our defeat.
"We had an hour to get back into it and weren't able to do so. There are many incidents like that over the course of a season.
"If people want to find excuses for a defeat, it's simple, but I believe the best way of explaining it would be to say: the opposition were better than us and we deserved to lose.
"Having said that, you have to ask why we lost. It's not easy to work out.
"We were missing something and that was evident. We had time to get back on level terms but we didn't ever create the right opportunity."
