Raya matches another record with Champions League clean sheet

No goalkeeper has ever kept 10 clean sheets for a Premier League side in a single Champions League campaign, and Raya now has the chance to become the first by denying either Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in the showpiece final later this month.

Raya hasn’t been far off the top clean-sheet keepers for the last couple of Champions League campaigns, finishing joint-second in 2023/24 and 2024/25, but this is the first time he’s had the most.

Combine that with his third consecutive Golden Glove, and you’re starting to see a good case for the goalkeeper to win some individual awards for this year of football.

You’d imagine a Premier League and Champions League title would only help that case, so Raya will want to add a few more clean sheets before the month is out.

Then it’s off to the World Cup, and the chance to compete with Unai Simon and Joan Garcia for starts with Spain.
