Liverpool’s new goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili shared a light-hearted story involving Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr.

Before a recent match, the Valencia goalie placed a cheeky €50 bet with the Brazilian forward.

“I bet €50 with Vinicius that the penalty will be stopped,” he said, smiling.

He claimed he made the save, but never received the money, as per Goal.com.

Liverpool signed Mamardashvili as part of Arne Slot’s early transfer moves.

The bet shows the friendly, competitive spirit shared by top-level players.

“He hasn’t given it to me,” Mamardashvili added, laughing about the unpaid bet.

Mamardashvili began a new chapter when he signed for Liverpool.

Even without the €50, Mamardashvili has gained admiration and support.

His blend of skill and character could prove crucial this season.
