Over the weekend, David De Gea showed off his footwork between the sticks and tonight in the Champions League, Hugo Lloris has done the same, brilliantly denying Karim Benzema.
Following the restart, Real Madrid had the perfect chance to put their noses in front.
Casemiro provided a superb ball into the path of Benzema who headed downwards at point blank range. Everyone watching on was expecting to see the net bulge but Lloris had other plans.
The Frenchman incredibly stopped his international compatriot from scoring by plucking out his leg to prevent a goal.
Lloris' heroics in goal sent social media into overdrive. Here's how they reacted:
Holy fucking shit Hugo Lloris with one of the best saves I've ever seen

That save from Hugo Lloris is one of the greatest I've ever seen.

If David De Gea had made that save that Hugo Lloris just made it would be weird because De Gea doesn't play for Tottenham
