He made nine saves towards RB Leipzig in the first leg of the spherical of sixteen and was once named man of the match. The goalkeeper was once also instrumental when Real Madrid overcame Manchester City in the quarter-final as he saved two penalties in the shootout in addition to numerous parries in open play.
