After the game against Bayern Munich, Higo's reputation soared to the sky. If before only people from Gelsenkirchen and probably some hardcore football fans outside knew about him, now almost every single person in this country knew of him or at least heard his name.
That was what an amazing performance against Bayern could do for him.
Hell, even Lewandowski himself made a comment during the press conference, admitting freely that Higo was the toughest goalkeeper he had ever met in the last couple of years.
"He kept saying that even if he had to lose, he would bring hell to me, and to my frustration, he kept my word until the end of the game. I deeply respect that, but a stubborn goalkeeper like him is definitely a nightmare to face. He is the hardest opponent I have faced in the last few years, and he will be better than ever, note my words."
