Arguably the most impressive on this list, denying the opposition at every turn with a whopping 53 saves.
3) Yann Sommer – Borussia Monchengladbach – 82.42%
Sommer is in third spot with an extremely impressive ratio, narrowly pipped to second place.
2) Morgan De Sanctis – AS Roma – 82.98%
Italian shot-stopper De Sanctis has been superb for Roma, making 39 saves throughout the first half of the season.
1) Manuel Neuer – Bayern Munich – 89.19%
With no one even coming close to the German international this season, Neuer’s impressive statistics reinforce his title as the best goalkeeper in the world.
With 33 saves under his belt, the Bayern man is well on his way to another Bundesliga title.
