Provedel’s goal rescued a point for Lazio at the death to start their UEFA Champions League campaign on a dramatic note, but the goalkeeper’s goal caused a huge splash felt outside the I Biancocelesti fandom.

‘Advantage Manchester United’ — Fans rejoice as Maguire is ruled out of Bayern Munich trip
Will Manchester United have a better chance against Bayern Munich with Maguire injured? The Red Devils' fans certainly believe so
The Chelsea forward has failed to score in an official match for the Blues since his controversial January move from Shakhtar Donetsk, and the whole world was reminded of this after Provedel’s sensational equaliser.
Other players were also targeted, as the Manchester United pair of Andre Onana and Marcus Rashford as well as Mudryk’s Chelsea teammate Nicholas Jackson, also felt the sting of social media.
Provedel was one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A last season, helping Lazio finish second behind champions Napoli with the second-fewest goals conceded, but it will be his exploits in front of goal rather than guarding it that will likely get him the most attention from now on.
