In the 17th minute of the game, Kylian Mbappé was free following a long ball from Lucas Hernández from his own half, rounded the rushing Gregor Kobel and brought the ball towards the empty goal for what seemed like a safe 1-0.
Niklas Süle, who had previously let Mbappé escape behind him, slipped the ball off the line in a spectacular manner.
“Of course that looks spectacular, you can all look at my crotch,” said Süle following the “DAZN” with a laugh: “With some reflex I can still get my foot up there. That was a spectacular rescue act, but I should have “We might have done it better beforehand.”

Coach Edin Terzic also saw Süle as responsible for his faux pas in the positional game, but still described the action as “outstandingly good”. “If you make a mistake beforehand, then you can show a tackle like that,” said the 41-year-old.
“I think Mbappé was very shocked that the ball wasn’t in there,” joked Terzic and added: “It feels like a goal for us, because it gave us a clean sheet at that moment.”
Of course, the monster tackle was also the dominant topic online.
