Top 10 Footballers with most Clean Sheets in Champions League

Performing incredibly between the goalposts for any goalkeeper has been just as decisive as goal scoring in Europe’s elite club competition in its eventful history. Here, we will have a look at the players who have recorded the most clean sheets in Champions League. Goalkeepers such as Manuel Neuer, Iker Casillas, and Gianluigi Buffon feature at the top of this record, reflecting long-term consistency across multiple seasons and clubs in the UEFA Champions League.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a clean sheet in the Champions League?

+

A clean sheet in the UEFA Champions League is recorded when a team concedes zero goals in an official Champions League match. The statistic is credited to the goalkeeper who starts the match, provided no goals are conceded during regular time or extra time. Penalty shootouts do not affect clean sheet records.
