He never really gets talked about amount great goalkeepers but in my opinion is up there with the likes of Casilas, Cech, Buffon, Schmeichel, Kahn etc when talking about 90s and 00s greats.
At Valencia some of the saves he use to make were insane, I remember one from Ballack when we went to The Mestalla, Ballack headered it bottom corner and he not only saved it but somehow managed to push it up onto the roof of the net, and there was one he made against Liverpool at Anfield where Gerrard was clean through placed it really well in the corner but somehow he still got to it
Maybe the fact his Real Madrid career never really kicked off works against him but for me ,during his time at Valencia, he was one of the best keepers in the world, if not the best.
Shame he never came to England.
