Onana sets new UCL record

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cameroonian goalkeeper, Onana set a new record as Inter Milan goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League.

The former Ajax shot-stopper became the first Nerazurri keeper to keep seven clean sheets in a single season in the elite European competition.

Onana has also made the most saves in the competition, cementing his status as one of the greatest goalies to have turned out in blue and black.

Onana plays street football

Inter Milan goalkeeper, Onana spent time with his community in Yaoundé. He was seen playing street football after he was sent home from Cameroon's camp during the World Cup.

The former Ajax shot-stopper, who started for the Indomitable Lions in their opener against Switzerland, was sacked from camp after a confrontation with coach, Rigobert Song.

He missed the games against Serbia and Brazil as Cameroon drew and won their last two matches, before ultimately falling short of expectations heading into the next rounds.
