Being a back up goalkeeper is a tough gig. It can't be fun sitting on the bench and watching on as the number one keeper plays match after match and makes save after save.
When you finally get your shot, chances are it's probably in an early round of a cup match at a League 1 side on a dodgy plastic pitch.
But in an enthralling Super Cup final on Wednesday night in Istanbul which ended with a Liverpool penalty shootout victory, the unlikely hero was none other than number two goalkeeper Adrian.
Not many would have thought that he would become a Reds hero in just his second game for the club.
