The 2019-20 season has come to an unexpected halt due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The top 5 European leagues have been suspended to avoid the players getting infected by COVID-19.
During this time off the football pitch, Opta has analysed the best goalkeeper stats in Europe’s top 5 leagues: LaLiga, Serie A, Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1.
Opta has examined five metrics for a goalkeeper – fewest goals conceded, best save percentage, fewest drops, passing accuracy and keeper sweeper accuracy.
The players who have made at least 10 league appearances this season have only been taken into consideration to avoid any unfair imbalance in the results.
