Vandevoordt makes miraculous penalty save in Champions League (VIDEO)

Under the lights of the Stade de France, Belgian goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt, freshly a starter, gave the Red Devils an iconic moment. While the match was 0-0 against PSV, he saved a shot from Ivan Perisic in a manner that commentators described as miraculous, all captured on video.

A save that confirms his rise in power

Vandevoordt, who plays for RB Leipzig, continues to perform at an impressive level. After an XXL performance this weekend, where he received a perfect score of 10 out of 10 thanks to nine saves in a 6-0 victory over Frankfurt, he again demonstrated his talent in the Champions League.

Perisic's shot, taken when the goalkeeper was caught off his line, was deflected when Vandevoordt raised his leg at the right moment, sending the ball out of the goal frame. This action was described as “miraculous” by observers.

This performance reinforces the idea that Vandevoordt is reaching a new dimension this season, solidifying his place in the Belgian starting eleven and at RB Leipzig.
