Petr Cech’s 2012 masterclass for Chelsea saw him deny Arjen Robben’s penalty and make key saves before leading his side to a historic victory in the shootout.

Thibaut Courtois produced a record-breaking nine-save performance in the 2022 final, keeping Liverpool at bay and securing Real Madrid’s 14th Champions League title.

Fraser Forster’s 2012 heroics against Barcelona, making 13 saves in a shocking Celtic victory, earned praise from Lionel Messi, who called him “not human.”
