Saves

You gotta feel for the Bayern Munich goalkeeper. Early in the match against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, an absolutely insane Manuel Neuer double save on Kevin Volland seemingly kept the German giants from going behind on an early penalty kick.

But because the referee hadn't blown his whistle before the penalty was taken, it was all for naught. The kick had to be retaken and Wendell stepped up to bury the second opportunity, giving Leverkusen an unlikely lead inside five minutes. 

German Lux has excellent hands, and you can see them on dispay here. The River Plate goalkeeper's excellent catch against Independiente probably saved a goal and also got Lux sent off. Independiente won 1-0, but I think we all know who the real winner is.

Also, we should talk about how amazing a name "German Lux" is. We should LUXuriate in it, if you will.

Here are some possible professions for someone named "German Lux":

Casino Owner

Cult Leader

Grifter

Cruise Ship Lounge Singer

Strip Club Bartender

Anthropology Professor

Gremio goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe pulled off one of the finest saves you’ll ever see on Wednesday during his side’s Copa Libertadores semifinal against Ecuador’s Barcelona. Gremio, the traveling side in the first leg, took a 2-0 advantage through Luan and Edilson, but Barcelona had an excellent chance to pull a goal back shortly after halftime and electrify the cauldron of yellow in El Monumental.
