Guglielmo Vicario (Tottenham)
October 2025
ottenham escaped Monaco with a 0–0 Champions League draw as Vicario delivered multiple high-value saves. Monaco’s coach accused the keeper of time-wasting, but Spurs lauded Vicario’s shot-stopping in a game tilted toward the hosts. Spurs accepted deep phases, compressing central lanes and trusting Vicario on cutbacks and near-post efforts. Late game management—slower restarts and defensive subs—blunted Monaco’s momentum and protected a point away from home.
