In a tҺrilling Champions League clаsh between Manchester United and Copenhagen, there was a moment of sheer excitement and jubilation for former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel. As the match approached its conclusion, Andre Onana, the goalkeeper for Copenhagen, made a crucial last-second penalty save that left Schmeichel ecstatic.
Schmeichel, who has previously expressed criticism towards Onana, couldn’t contain his joy as the Cameroonian shot-stopper denied Jordan Larsson from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
