Three other keepers have accomplished similar in Champions League finals: Vitor Baía in Porto's 3-0 win over Monaco in 2004, though he did make one great stop that was incorrectly ruled offside. These instances highlight how occasionally a goalkeeper's role in a final victory may be minimal despite their team's success.
