Anyone with reflexes can get their hands in the way. Although there is larger than average element of luck involved in that one. Still thats pretty sick. | ||

I dare to say that 99% of the goalkeepers would not make the save, including those from top european teams. Also, Ariel's reaction to failing to score is incredible haha btw, I believe many (if not all) of you do not follow the Copa Libertadores, so to give some context to the game, this is the most prestigious South American football tournament, and the one that decides who takes the South American representative spot on the FIFA Club World Cup. Currently we are at the semifinals stage: ![]() | ||

That being said, with the exception of the Champions League, I believe Copa Libertadores is second to no one. As a matter of fact, before the FIFA Club World Cup was created in 2000, the tournament that decided who was the "world champion" was the Intercontinental Cup (not related to FIFA) where the European champion (Champions League) would face the South American champion (Copa Libertadores). While for europeans this "world champion" title does not hold as much value as winning the CL, for the south american clubs it is the highest title they can achieve, especially because they can go and say "we beat Real Madrid, or Barcelona, or Chelsea, or Bayern, and so on. | ||

I hate the East Asian Nations and Western Asian Nations basically playing separate competitions and just having the winner of each play each other in the final. The AFC is actually one of those things that has gotten slightly worse. Especially on the Western side. | ||
