Champions League: Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso was his side's hero during their 2-2 draw against Villarreal in matchday 1.
With matchday 1 of the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League finally underway, Argentine goalkeeper Juan Musso put in a stunning point-blank reflex save for Atalanta during their Group F opener against Villarreal at the El Madrigal. Towards the end of the first half, with the scores level at 1-1, the 27-year-old denied Gerard Moreno from close-range. The former Udinese custodian defied all odds and instinctively parried away a point-blank header from the Spanish attacker. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Atalanta left to thank their goalkeeper for some crucial saves.
Here is the highlight of Musso's save against Moreno:
The Champions League's official Instagram account also decided to ask fans to choose between Musso and another reaction save from Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
Both goalkeepers received equal number of support from fans in the comment section, with Paris Saint-Germain attacker Angel Di Maria choosing his national teammate over Bounou.
