#5 Diego Alves proves to be a pain for Barcelona yet again
Trending
Valencia’s goalkeeper Diego Alves was at the top of his game yet again against Barcelona, as he has been in the past few seasons.
The Brazillian goalkeeper was linked with a possible move to Barcelona in the summer, after their former keeper Claudio Bravo parted ways with Barcelona to join their former coach Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
Alves proved to be one of the best shot-stoppers in the world yet again when he denied Messi and Suarez on several occasions this afternoon. One particular single-handed stop from a Luis Suarez shot was spectacular.
He was unlucky not to save Messi’s penalty, in spite of diving in the right direction. The conceded penalty means he has now conceded 21 penalties, the exact number he has saved, which is a staggering stat.
