Can a real person have Superhuman Attack/Reaction speed? In professional handball tournaments, the balls can reach speeds of 140 km/h, but that's Superhuman, soo.

Firearms can be considered attack speed, and going further, a professional swordsman can attack faster than they can react with their sword. Another example of attack speed in humans is a stabbing; without needing to be superhuman, you can outpace another person's reactions.

I didn't quite understand. Aside from the attack speed part, the goalkeeper the goalkeeper reacted appropriately. If a profile were made of him, could he have superhuman reaction speed?

I'm not sure in that case. He seems to react, but very late, and he was already in position to anticipate the ball.

Insider Science went over it here with Baseball. With the NHL it's the same. It's reaction speed, prediction, and muscle memory from years of practice that let you anticipate what's going to happen to intercept something. Martial arts do the same thing. Most boxers are unable to react to a punch after it's thrown, at least not well, the important part is reading the opponent, to already by moving and to dodge before it happens.

, could he have superhuman reaction speed?

He would be peak human with a lot of experience in that field.
