Overview

• The fifth stop came against Werder’s Romano Schmid in the 59th minute at 2–0, with coach Julian Schuster calling the penalty save a foundation for the victory.
• Captain Vincenzo Grifo hailed his goalkeeper, quipping “Der Atu ist ein Sauhund” after training-ground attempts from the spot had also been denied.
• Atubolu, 23, downplayed the acclaim, saying he is not a “football god” and expressing gratitude after extending the run to five.
• Freiburg will host FC Basel next in the Europa League, with players and staff intent on carrying the momentum into midweek.
• The run is described as unprecedented in Bundesliga history, and reporting says the national coach has Atubolu on his radar as he aims to become Germany’s number one.
