Bardi reveals reason behind Napoli penalty save
The Chievo goalkeeper denied Partenopei hitman Gonzalo Higuain as the Flying Donkeys went on to secure a stout 1-0 win at the Stadio San Paolo.
“The first penalty I saved was from a Romanian Nun when I was at school,” he told the Corriere del Veneto.
“She was a footballer and played in secret. When I was young, my only goal was not to let my opponents score.
“With Higuain I chose a corner, dived as well as I could, and saved it.
“It was the best match of my career.”
