Valencia goalkeeper, Giorgi Mamardashvili has revealed that he bet with VinÃcius Júnior that he would save his first-half penalty in Valencia's 2-1 win at Real Madrid.
Los Blancos could have taken the lead in the 13th minute after they were awarded a spot-kick.
But Mamardashvili dived to the right direction to palm away VinÃcius' effort.
VinÃcius eventually found the back of the net in the second half, but Valencia won thanks to a goal from Hugo Duro in added time.
“I had a conversation with Vinicius, and I won €50,” Mamardashvili told reporters after the game.
“I asked him if he wanted to bet €50, and he said ‘yes' and I won.”
“He ought to pay me, but he hasn't yet,” Mamardashvili – who was outstanding throughout the match, making a number of saves – added.
