7) Oliver Kahn – 34
A legend for Bayern Munich and Germany, Oliver Kahn certainly made his mark as one of the finest goalkeepers to play in the Champions League with 34 clean sheets in his career in Europe.
6) Dida – 35
A superb shot-stopper who won the tournament twice during his AC Milan days, Brazilian star Dida managed 35 clean sheets in the Champions League in his career.
5) Gianluigi Buffon – 36
One of the best goalkeepers of all time, Gianluigi Buffon has perhaps not featured in this competition as much as his talent merits, with Juventus often disappointing on this stage in recent times, meaning the Italian only has 36 – still an impressive record.
4) Victor Valdes – 45
Some way ahead of Buffon, Victor Valdes has benefitted from playing for a hugely dominant Barcelona side that often had so much of the ball that their opponents didn’t stand a chance of a shot, let alone a goal, the Spaniard has still done well to get 45 clean sheets in the Champions League.
3) Petr Cech – 46
A winner with Chelsea in 2012, Petr Cech’s fine form in goal has certainly been a huge boost for the Blues in the modern era, with the Czech Republic star managing 46 clean sheets at the top level in Europe.
2) Edin van der Sar – 51
A goalkeeping great at Manchester United and Ajax, Edwin van der Sar comes in second place with a hugely impressive 51 career clean sheets in the Champions League, a tournament he has won twice.
1) Iker Casillas – 52
Now ahead of van der Sar with his clean sheet against Atletico, Iker Casillas confirms his status as one of the finest goalkeepers to ever play the game.
