Samir Handanovic further enhanced his reputation as one of the finest 'keepers in the world with a solid performance between the sticks for Inter against Borussia Dortmund.

Handanovic was called into action late in the first half after Dortmund carved open the Inter defence. Jadon Sancho found himself through on goal but was denied by Handanovic's outstretched right hand, as the Slovenian kept Inter in the lead heading into half-time.

Handanovic was forced into another great save just past the hour mark, this time off Julian Brandt's deflected strike. The German received the ball on the edge of the box and unleashed a shot on goal, only for it to be deflected by an Inter defender. Handanovic though was alert to the proceedings and managed to adjust his body in time to pull off another smart save.

The Slovenian also took command of his box during set-piece situations, charging off his line to deal with corner and free-kicks in what was a world-class display of goalkeeping on the night.
