Bernd Leno was instrumental in Fulham's victory against Manchester United in a penalty shootout, showcasing his goalkeeping skills by saving crucial penalties. Post-match, he credited his goalkeeping coach and emphasized the team's collective achievement in reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals. Reflecting on his transition from Arsenal to Fulham, Leno humorously noted the relatively low transfer fee as indicative of his skills. His aspirations for the team are high, expressing a strong desire to reach Wembley, marking a significant turnaround from previous quarter-final disappointments against United.
Once 120 minutes of cagey, largely dour, football had been played, Leno proved the difference in Sunday's penalty shootout against Manchester United.
Leno displayed real modesty in speaking about Fulham's achievement in reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals rather than his own major role.
Two years ago, we lost in the quarter-final [to United] and [now] we're in the quarter-final again. We want to go to Wembley, 100 percent.
Leno described the £3million fee rising to £8m in add-on clauses as a bargain and very, very cheap, joking it implied he was a very bad player.
