Wall of Sigh! The 31-year-old New Moon goalkeeper collapsed with 10 divine pounces, and Ronaldo cried in the World Cup 3 years ago

12:03am, 4 July 2025Football

In a focus game in the 2025 Club World Cup 1/8 finals ended on July 1, Riyadh's "only seedling" Riyadh Crescent after overtime, unexpectedly eliminated defending champion Manchester City with a score of 4-3, and entered the quarterfinals historically. In this game, the number one hero who created miracles in the new moon was not the scorer Leonardo who scored twice, but their goalkeeper Bunu.

In this game, although the goal guarded by Bunu was broken by Manchester City three times, he was shot from close range, and he was powerless. But apart from that, Bunu's performance has approached perfection. In this game, Manchester City's offense, especially when the scores were behind in the second half and overtime, made the New Moon's defense line panic, but Bunu repeatedly saved the risk.

According to post-match statistics, Manchester City scored 30 shots in this game, 14 shots on the right side, and only scored 3 goals. But Bunu made 10 god-level saves, leaving Manchester City scorers such as Haaland, Doku, Foden, and Marmush helpless. What pales in comparison to Bunu is that Manchester City's Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson did not make his first save until the 112th minute of overtime and conceded 4 goals.

In fact, it is not only this game, but also 4 games in the Club World Cup, Bunu made 23 saves, with the most of all goalkeepers. If the New Moon can go further, Bunu can really compete for the title of Best Goalkeeper in this Club World Cup.

I believe that fans are not unfamiliar with Bunu. At the age of 34, he is the absolute hero of the Moroccan men's football team to enter the top four of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

, especially in the quarter-finals, Bunu's high and low stops helped Morocco to eliminate Portugal in an upset manner. In that game, Ronaldo's crying after being eliminated was touching. And that night, Haaland and Foden also felt the helplessness and despair of Ronaldo in the face of the "wall of sighs".
