It was very important for psychological reasons,” said the goalkeeper. “The penalties before my save were superbly taken, ours included – I'd have been delighted to see the same thing in the Champions League final two years ago.” Talking about his save from Lukaku’s spot-kick, Neuer added: “What can you do as a goalkeeper? You simply try to react to the taker’s run up – and I chose to dive to the left."
