Incident: Late in the second half of extra time, Kepa seemed to have suffered a cramp, this looked like the end of his performance as manager Sarri already asked substitute goalkeeper Willy Caballero (a well-known penalty stopper) to be ready to come in (as the penalty shootout was almost upon them), but Kepa refused to be substituted, after arguing about it for a couple of minutes, Sarri, visibly disgusted, cancelled the substitution and allowed Kepa to keep on playing
