Rui Patrício and Pepe Reina joined “Club 100+ international clean sheets”
This year, two goalkeepers reached the 100 clean sheet mark in international matches, Rui Patrício and Pepe Reina.
The number of such goalkeepers in the history of football has increased to 9.
Here we publish, for the first time, the ranking of goalkeepers with 100+ international clean sheets.
The record, by a significant margin, is held by Iker Casillas (168).
Matches of national teams (NT) and club competitions (ICC) held by continental confederations and FIFA are taken into account.
A clean sheet is counted if no goals are conceded by a goalkeeper, regardless of how much time he spent on the pitch.
Tie-breaker: most clean sheets for national team.
