Do you ever wonder what Simon Mignolet, ex-Liverpool goalkeeper, is doing?
Only us? He is doing well anyway.
Mignolet is actually an inspiration to Club Brugge this season in the Champions League.
After being drawn in a group that included Atletico Madrid Porto and Bayer Leverkusen, many people thought the Belgian side was a joke at the start.
However, they qualified for the knockout stages with just two games remaining.
And incredibly, Mignolet’s goal is yet to be breached in five group matches, including two against Spanish giants Atletico.
The Belgium international totted up a remarkable tally of nine saves during a 0-0 draw against Diego Simeone’s side on Wednesday night, making it 14 in total across two games.
He is the second-most productive goalkeeper in this season’s competition, with 21 saves in total.
His heroics were what got Club Brugge to the Champions League knockout stages, for the first time ever in the history of the club.
“This is a dream,” he said of their progression. “We fought until the end and we finally did it. But our story doesn’t end here: let’s see how far we can go!”
Mignolet collected a Champions League winners’ medal as a bit part player at Liverpool in the 2018/19 season, before calling time on a six-year career at Anfield.
This will likely taste even better for the 34-year old.
