Goalkeepers with most clean-sheets in Copa Libertadores
For the first time, we publish the ranking for goalkeepers with the most clean sheets in the Copa Libertadores.
Throughout this edition, an exciting contest took place at the top of the ranking. Before his start, the record (42 clean sheets) was shared between Éver Almeida, a retired Paraguayan, and Fábio, the current Fluminense goalkeeper.
Weverton, the Palmeiras goalkeeper, was behind them with 37. But he had a brilliant tournament of 2023 and added 8 clean sheets, having just ended his participation in it (Palmeiras were eliminated in the semifinals) with the tally of 45.
Fábio has exactly the same number now; he added 3 clean sheets during this tournament so far.
According to the tie-breaker (fewer matches), Weverton is given preference in the ranking, so he is all-time number one right now.
But Fábio has yet the final match against Boca Juniors on November 4. This will be his chance to become the new sole record holder. Maybe his last chance taking in account his age (43 years).
