That save is the biggest reason why we're still in this. Go 2-0 down at home against Atletico and the tie is over. Thanks, ter Stegen!

He made it look like it was some big save. Griezmann shot wasn't that bad at all.
Had it gone in it would have been an absolute goalkeeping disaster.

When straight saves at Bravo is hailed like some goalkeeping achievement here then no wonder every standard save is treated the same.

I don't think so, the save wasn't that easy because MatS was initially moving back before the shot and also made a last step towards the short post and it's a bit harder to get power behind the jump in that situation, hence why it looked like that.
It was certainly a good save, not outstanding, but he did everything right.

Shot was on the ground outside 16 meters. Plenty of time to react and he somehow jumped at the last moment. That made the save look good.

I am not getting on his back but I am not hailing it as great save.

Reaction isn't the problem, but it would still require a certain amount of agility to switch running directions because Ter Stegen was trying to cover the short post and Griezmann hit it against his run.
There are a fair share of goalkeepers who are not that quick, specifically older gks

Loved his passing today, those 2 long bombs were epic. I really think Bravo is not on the same level right now. This was opposite early in the season when Mats was struggling. But really glad Mats is our CL keeper!
