“It’s an incredible feeling,” Bayindir shared with MUTV after the match. “When you make a penalty save and realize you’re contributing to your team’s success, it’s just fantastic.”
This isn’t a new situation for the goalkeeper; he previously saved a penalty from Martin Odegaard during our FA Cup match against Arsenal in January, and he also denied Kai Havertz in a subsequent shootout when the game was tied.
Interestingly, attention now shifts back to the Gunners following the Fiorentina match, as they are our first opponents in the Premier League next weekend.
“For us, the opponent doesn’t matter,” Bayindir added. “Every game in the Premier League is crucial. This week, we’ll focus on preparing for Arsenal, and from there, we’ll take it one game at a time.”
