Olivier Kahn, of course, produced something similar in 2001, and\u00a0Petr Cech was the man of the moment in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it is not always in Champions League finals where goalkeepers really come to the fore and outshine their attacking counterparts. In the 2010\/11 semi-finals, Sir Alex Ferguson commented on Manuel Neuer\u2019s performance for Schalke: &#8220;In my time at United, it&#8217;s the finest display of goalkeeping against us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And already this campaign, we have seen a masterclass from one particular \u2018keeper. Granted, it\u2019s not quite on the scale of the above, but Simon Mignolet &#8212; yes, him &#8212; has been simply sensational, keeping a competition-best five clean sheets so far, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/champions-league-exciting-players-under-the-radar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">while also registering the highest save percentage of any goalkeeper<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the impressiveness of his feat, he has also made the most saves (32), muzzling Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Porto. It\u2019s not so much a case of Club Brugge being defensively watertight, but rather, Mignolet being nigh-on impossible to penetrate.
