He is just the third English goalkeeper since 1992/93 to save a penalty in the Champions League. This season, Pope has featured in seven of Newcastle’s eight group-stage games, helping his side concede only seven goals - bettered only by Arsenal, who have let in four so far in the Champions League. It’s shaping up to be a Champions League season to remember for Pope, who has even made his mark beyond goalkeeping. This makes him one of only two goalkeepers this season, alongside Thibaut Courtois, to register a Champions League assist. Eddie Howe's men will still need to play two more matches to secure a place in the Champions League last 16.
