Concentration, deep breaths, intuition, and a touch of luck is all a goalkeeper needs to save a penalty.
Channeling those traits on the day, Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas made an incredible save on an Antoine Griezmann penalty to deny Atletico Madrid an equalizing goal.
Navas guessed right on the penalty, leaping to his left and palming the ball away, much to Griezmann's chagrin. The resulting corner was cleared away by the Real Madrid defenders and Navas could breath easy again.
And to think, Real Madrid didn't even want Navas this year. Bet it has changed its mind after tonight, no?
