Al-Hilal surprisingly defeated Manchester City at the Club World Cup and is now in the quarter-finals of the tournament. The Saudi club especially owes thanks to their keeper Yassine Bounou, better known as Bono.
Against City's Savinho, he pulled off a monster save. We can only wonder how long a human arm can get when looking at the following images.

It's not the first time at the Club World Cup that Bono has saved his team. He also stopped a penalty from Valverde against Real Madrid. In the Salzburg match, the 34-year-old was named player of the match after strong saves.
Even Pep Guardiola had to acknowledge after the game that his players couldn't get past Bono. "The chances were minimal. We created a lot, and (Yassine) Bounou was incredible," said City's coach after the final whistle.
Now, Inter-conqueror Fluminense awaits Al-Hilal and Bono. Let's see if he will have to extend his long arms again.
