Most Clean Sheets: Goalkeepers as always remain an integral part of the team as they decide the ratio of success to failure due to their efforts.

Goalkeeping as an art has evolved over time ranging from shot-stopping to influencing games with key-passes and assessing situations.

But their goal over time has always been to concede less or even manage clean-sheets. As we enter 2023, we look at Europe’s top 5 goalkeepers with most clean-sheets.

It is this feature that aids championship winning teams to reach the pinnacle and get hold of the domestic crown, they aspire for in their careers.

Provedel has kept 9 clean-sheets in 17 league matches through the Serie A campaign so far, having conceded a meagre 15 goals in the process.

It is due to his impressive goalkeeping that Lazio currently stand in 5th place with 31 points and can finish well inside the top 4 by the end of the 2022-23 season.

Donnarumma has also kept 9 clean-sheets in 17 league matches, conceding 13 goals in the process.

Apart from the magnificent form of PSG’s trio, Donnarumma has slowly carved his niche into being one of PSG’s top ranked players this season.

His contributions have helped the French side remain top of the table as they eye back-to-back league titles.

The Polish keeper is Juventus’ main man in the Serie A with 9 clean-sheets from 11 league matches.

Juventus have risen from the ashes after the dull and disappointing start to the season to reach 2nd place as of today in the Serie A table.

With important players ruled out due to injury since the start, it was imperative for the likes of experienced pros in Szczesny to lead the side.

Szczesny has conceded 3 of the 7 league goals conceded all season to reign supreme in the race for the Goalkeeper of the 2022-23 season.

Newcastle’s Nick Pope is the surprise inclusion in this illustrious list with the Englishman having sealed 10 clean-sheets in 18 league matches.

Pope has been instrumental in Newcastle’s rise this season as the Magpies currently are in 3rd place with 35 points and on their way for a top 4 finish.

Newcastle United’s goalkeeper has conceded 11 goals all season, being the least as of today and hopes to keep this stat intact and take the Toon Army to greater heights.

Marc-Andre ter Stegan

The Barcelona shot-stopper has conceded a mere 6 goals this season, which keeps his side at the top of the tree and in contention for the title.

Ter Stegan missed the World Cup last year due to injury but did not remain down for long as he became FC Barcelona’s leader with his displays.

If ter Stegan can continue his jaw-dropping displays like the one last night vs Atletico Madrid, he is in contention for the top prize come the end of the season.
