Unbelievable save, fans praise endlessly in Champions League

(Dan Tri) - Aston Villa's center back Tyrone Mings made an amazing save right on the goal line, helping his team narrowly escape defeat. Many people expressed their admiration for the English star.

In the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 last night, Aston Villa won 3-1. The English team really took the lead thanks to consecutive goals at the end of the match (minutes 82 and 88).

Aston Villa's fate would have been different if Tyrone Mings had not made an incredible save in the 69th minute (when the score was 1-1). From a cross by Christos Tzolis, Club Brugge captain Hans Vanaken made a tricky header, aiming at the far corner of Aston Villa's goal.

Goalkeeper Martinez was almost rooted to the spot but Tyrone Mings was there just in time to clear the ball right on the goal line while facing the goal. This is a difficult skill because if he doesn't clear the ball carefully, Tyrone Mings can shoot into the net.

The England centre-back was showered with praise for his save, with commentator Ally McCoist exclaiming on television: "I think it's the best save of the season."

Meanwhile, the Sport Bible emphasized: "Tyrone Mings made the most beautiful goal-line clearance you have ever seen". The Independent used the word "unbelievable" to describe Tyrone Mings' clearance.

Speaking after the match, coach Unai Emery praised the midfielder born in 1993: "Having experience in the Champions League is very important. In the first match against Club Brugge (in the qualifying round), Tyrone Mings did not play well and made mistakes. However, in the rematch against this opponent, the English midfielder played wonderfully.

He played with concentration, seriousness and saved Aston Villa from a clear defeat. I have asked for all the matches to set high standards for myself."

On Twitter, many fans expressed their amazement at Tyrone Mings’ save. Here are some typical comments:

"Tyrone Mings is the most incredible centre-back you've ever seen".

"I just want to say that Tyrone Mings just made the best goal-line save in football history."

"In November, Tyrone Mings made a mistake that led to a penalty against Club Brugge. However, he just saved Aston Villa from a certain goal at a crucial moment."

"Tyrone Mings has fantastic defensive skills."

"Unbelievable what Tyrone Mings has shown".

With a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge, Aston Villa have a great chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the past, Aston Villa won the European Cup 1 in the 1981/82 season.
