Gordon Banks against Pelé. David Seaman against Paul Peschisolido.

Two iconic saves that live long in the memory,  but we’re here to shine a light on another forgotten treasure.

Grégory Coupet against Rivaldo.

With Lyon against Barcelona still goalless, Claudio Cacapa attempted to play the ball back to his goalkeeper – only to get things very wrong.

So what does Coupet do in the knowledge he can’t handle the ball?

Oh, just launch himself and head it onto the crossbar.

To then get up and pull off an outrageous reflex stop from Rivaldo – which you could argue was better than the first – still baffles us.

You can only praise such a brilliant piece of athleticism, bravery and improvisation.
