The record of most clean sheets in Champions League spans all recognised phases of the competition, including qualifying rounds, where they form part of the official Champions League structure for a given season. Clean sheets are logged on a per-match basis and are generally attributed to the goalkeeper who starts the fixture, following standard competition reporting. No change is made for defensive setup, quality of opposition or venue.
Structural changes to the tournament, such as format revisions and variations in match volume across seasons, are preserved within the data rather than normalised.
