One of the most important and delicate positions in bot teams is the goalkeeper, with a lot of players having defended their club’s net, but only a few of them made an impression.

Claudio Bravo

This young player has won Luis Enrique’s trust, even thought he arrived as a support for the promising Ter Stegen. 

His numbers are impressive, without conceding any goal in the first eight matches of the current season. Probably, the ball domination showed by Barcelona has helped in this record, but the numbers are there and are very impressive being the Europe’s top league.

The Chilean goalie has a short career with only two titles in his curriculum; but if he maintains this commitment and numbers during the rest of the season, a lot more will be added. 

The only match played by Ter Stegen was the second of the Champions League against the Paris Saint-Germain, the only defeat for Barcelona.

Probably next Saturday match will be his biggest challenge so far, but he is ready shine in it.

Iker Casillas

The numbers for the Real Madrid goalkeeper are works than those of the Barcelona side, with ten goals conceded in nine games. 

The current captain had to endure two consecutive losses in the start of the current La Liga season. But after some time to adjust, he had kept a clean sheet for the last four matches.

He has been criticized for a number of fans that want him out of the team, but Iker has been able to keep his position.

His weakness is the aerial plays, and most likely will never change because he is not bothered to improve it, so the coach has to organize the defense to prevent this kind of game.
