DANI CARVAJAL was sent off after a producing a brilliant El Clasico save – and Twitter responded by claiming he is a better goalkeeper than Simon Mignolet.
Real Madrid defender Carvajal saw red after a stunning one-handed stop to deny Paulinho from heading Barcelona into a two-goal lead today.
Carvajal’s instinctive stop showed his reflexes were at their best, and caught the eye of fans who have seen Mingolet’s struggles for Liverpool.
The Belgian has been under the spotlight for the past year after a series of errors between the posts for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
And he produced yet another howler last night to gift Arsenal their second goal in the thrilling 3-3 draw with Liverpool at the Emirates.
Former Reds star Jamie Carragher has lost patience with the 29-year-old, saying the Reds will never win the title until they drop him.
And Twitter was quick to make the point in the minutes after Carvajal’s super-save at the Bernabeu.
CLASS APART Barcelona turn on the style to destroy Real Madrid in El Clasico

And @Nuwaha17 added: “Liverpool should sign Carvajal as a replacement for Mignolet. What a brilliant save that was!”
Id happily take Carvajal as a goalkeeper over Mignolet
