Kasper Schmeichel has long since moved out of the shadow of his father Peter.
He has enough of his own accomplishments in the game to stand alone, however legendary his dad was.
The latest of these was helping Denmark to the semi-finals of Euro 2020, a run ended by England after extra time on a euphoric night at Wembley.

It was reminiscent of his father Peter's amazing save to deny Inter's Ivan Zamorano in 1999
It came just a few weeks after Kasper was instrumental in Leicester City's brilliant FA Cup win and Denmark's progress was all the more impressive after the trauma of Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest in their first match.
As England hammered on the Danish door in search of a winner on Wednesday night, it was Schmeichel who kept them at bay time after time.
He spread himself to deny Raheem Sterling from point-blank range, got down to turn away Harry Maguire's header and repelled Harry Kane's penalty, only to see it pop straight back out for what proved to be the winner.

If not for Schmeichel's string of saves, England would have cruised through to the final in normal time.
Peter's pride in his son shone through in the affectionate throwback picture he posted on social media ahead of the semi-final.
The young Kasper, wearing a colourful Danish goalkeeper top of the era, playing 'rock, paper, scissors' with his dad, wearing a novelty tie, on a flight somewhere.
And in so many areas of his game, Schmeichel Jr is just as good, if not better, than his dad.

SHOT-STOPPING
When Kasper spread his body to keep out Sterling's first-half effort at Wembley, you could blink and imagine Peter making an identical save for Manchester United.
The crucial one-handed 'starfish' save he made to keep out Ivan Zamorano's header in the 1999 Champions League quarter-final against Inter Milan, for example.
Schmeichel Snr played handball growing up and such sprawling saves to fill as much of the goal as possible are a big part of it. Clearly, Kasper has inherited the skill.
For such big men - Peter is 6ft 3in and Kasper 6ft 2in - their reactions and reflexes are or were second to none.

One handed saves, whether on the ground or in the air, are a Schmeichel speciality.
Peter denying Jurgen Klinsmann in Denmark's win over Germany in the Euro 1992 final is a fine example of his ability to get down low and push a shot away, while the one-handed save made against Rapid Vienna in 1996 is arguably his best ever and, indeed, one of the best saves by anyone ever.

Kasper is equally as good, though. Take his remarkable low stop to deny Maguire's header on Wednesday night or a terrific one-handed push onto the crossbar for Denmark against Switzerland in a 2019 qualifier.
That was undoubtedly one of his finest hours as he'd made a similar flying save to push a Ricardo Rodriguez shot over.
He made a similar one for Leicester in a Premier League game at Wolves earlier in the same year.
The other notable quality of both is that classic goalkeeper mindset of 'just hit me' when an opponent takes aim from close range. It doesn't matter the body part.
PENALTY RECORD
Here's one thing Kasper definitely has over his dad. In his whole career, Peter saved only three penalties, which comes as something of a surprise. That's three out of 36 faced, a ratio of just 8.33 per cent.
Kasper, meanwhile, has kept out 23 of the 91 he has faced, according to Transfermarkt, which equates to one in four. Kane's was just the latest.

It seems to suggest that more penalties are awarded in the modern game, partially thanks to VAR, but the Leicester keeper is certainly talented at guessing what a penalty taker is going to do.
The most important penalty save Peter made was to deny Arsenal's Dennis Bergkamp in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay but more often than not at United, penalties against went in.
Kasper had a really good penalty record during the loan spells in the early part of his career and also when Leicester were in the Championship.
He's saved five spot-kicks during their time in the Premier League, two during their 2016-17 Champions League run after they won the title, and two during the 2018 World Cup, including one from Croatia's Luka Modric.

COMMAND AND LEADERSHIP
Peter was famous for his ferocious blasts at his defenders if they failed to clear danger quickly
