Provedel’s heroic act not only secured a crucial point for Lazio but also etched his name in football history as the first goalkeeper to score in the Champions League since Vincent Enyeama achieved the feat for Hapoel Tel Aviv against Lyon in 2010.

Provedel modestly reflected on this extraordinary moment, saying;

I’m happy, especially because we managed to level a game we didn’t deserve to lose. It hasn’t sunk in; later, I will realise that I scored in the Champions League.”
