A half dedicated to Mignolet! The goalkeeper gave away a penalty, saved it, picked up a yellow card and left the pitch injured
Club Brugge and Monaco face off in the opening round of the Champions League. At the moment, the hosts are leading 3-0. In the first half, Brugge’s goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was at the center of an unbelievable sequence of events.
Details: First, the Brugge goalkeeper conceded a penalty, then managed to save the spot-kick, picked up a yellow card for dissent, and unfortunately had to leave the pitch due to injury.
All this unfolded within the first 20 minutes of the opening half. Mignolet made a mistake that led to a penalty against his team, but then showcased his class by denying the goal from the spot.
After that, the goalkeeper suffered an injury that prevented him from continuing. Substitute goalkeeper Nordin Jackers came on to take his place. The club’s medical staff is currently assessing his condition, and his participation in the upcoming matches remains in doubt.
Worth noting: Monaco’s plane was unable to take off for the Champions League match due to a broken air conditioner. The players had to leave the plane in their underwear.
