#1 Goalkeeper

Petr Cech (Arsenal)

Petr Cech, as an all round goalkeeper has always been impressive. He put up a solid wall against the Bayern strikers saving some important goals for the Gunners. He saved a monstrous attempt from Robert Lewandowski, this definitely was the pick of the game.

Also, due to a mistake by Manual Neuer on the other side, Cech’s performance made a huge impact in the 2-0 win against the German side. This was the first loss for the side from Munich this season. Cech’s brilliant performance picked up a huge clean sheet for the Gunners as they kept one of the most potent attacks of this season at bay.
