When a team is penalized with a penalty, only the goalkeeper or a missed shot can prevent a goal from being scored. many players there are no major problems in scoring a goal from this set piece, but there are football specialists who stand out for the number of saves.
Most penalties recorded. Wojciech Szczęsny in the TOP 10
Sports Brief, based on stats from Transfermarkt and Goal.com, have compiled a list of the ten goalkeepers who have saved the most penalties in their career. The PSG player is in last place on this list Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian defended 16 penalties, including two in final Euro 2020, thanks to which his representation achieved the title. The next place is occupied by Wojciech Szczęsny with 17 successful interventions. Tim Howard (18) ranks higher grandpa Reina (19), Iker Casillas (20), Petr Cech (21) and Manuel Neuer (25).
The leader of the ranking is the goalkeeper InterMilan Samir Handanović. The Slovenian has saved up to 38 shots on goal so far. In the past, his interventions helped the Milan team a lot and for many years he was considered a key figure in this team. The situation is completely different now. The 38-year-old is in very poor form and makes a lot of mistakes. There are plenty of indications that there isn’t much left of the old Handanović, but it’s safe to assume that no one will soon beat his penalty shootout exploits. In second place in this ranking is Gianluigi Buffon, who defended 30 “cous”, and the podium is closed by Diego Alves with 26 successful saves.
