About Peter Schmeichel, it's important to note that Denmark would never have won the Euro 1992 without him.

[@thaifinnen]

Or without the backwards pass to the goalkeeper

[@supermanvtheworld7435]

Only reason they won because fifa Mafia kicked out Yugoslavia which won that group and Denmark can second didn't even qualify so it's not because of schmichiel plz get it right

Maybe historically he is not the most complete, but as a veteran watching this sport i can say that when it comes to reflexes he is the best goalkeeper in the history

[@misterbotanica]

Take a look at Manuel Neuer vs. Porto. There he showed a reflex with his foot which is from a different universe. The striker was already celebrating the goal as it was literally impossible to save his header but Neuer managed it with that unique safe

[@willybauer5496]

Nope, I've seen almost anyone of the others (from the 70s onwards) and I still think, that Neuer has definitely changed and raised goalkeeping/the role of the keeper just to another level, which has much more influence on the game itself.

I think the goal keepers like J L Buffon, M Neuer, and I Casillas have been a wonderful to watch and learn from considering I was born in the 2000s'. In today's era I think goal keepers like De Dea, Oblack, Allison, Courtois, Ederson and even Neuer need to be embraced because these are the ones who are simply doing it for us at the top level. Yes I may not mention all the best goalkeepers but these certainly going forward needs recognition.
