Edouard Mendy won praise from Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel after the win over Real Madrid on Wednesday.
The Senegalese made two strong saves to deny Karim Benzema in the first-half.
Chelsea eventually went on to win 2-0, booking their place in the Champions League final against Manchester City.
When quizzed about Mendy, Tuchel replied: "Even against Fulham, it was the same.
"He was solid and so, so strong, strong hands, intelligence and he kept a clean sheet again."
Asked how the final will play out with City, Tuchel added: "Ask me four days before the final! It's too early. There can be injured players, there can be players out a form.
"We need to wait and hopefully, we arrive with the whole squad, because it's not done yet. We want to go all the way and we arrived in this competition to win."
