Yaaas Broncos!
In my head Schmeichel is the greatest keeper the game has ever seen, but to be perfectly fair my memories are like a higlights reel and errors don't feature so he has the benefit of nostalgia. He did have bad games, including a few howlers against City, but obviously the good memories are not reinventing history, he was THAT good.
VDS, having his time between the sticks more fresh in our minds, will have a hard job standing up to the memories we have of the Great Dane. He has, however, been fantastically consistent, made more than his fare share of Schmeichel-esque 'holy shit' saves, as well as being more comfortable with the ball at his feet than possibly any other keeper. His saves in Moscow will no doubt be remembered in 20 years as fondly as anything from Schmeichel, too.
In summary, I don't think the call is as clear cut as some might suggest, but I do still think Schmeichel was better. VDS isn't going to tarnish my memories by playing across town though.
