After 4 rounds in the Champions League, Benfica has suffered as many defeats and is already out of the round of 16 of the competition, with 7 goals conceded and only one scored. The balance is no longer unbalanced thanks to Anatoliy Trubin. In fact, the Ukrainian international’s defenses have prevented the nightmare from being even greater.
According to data shared by Goal Point, the player signed from Shakhtar Donetsk, for 10 million euros, was the goalkeeper who prevented the most goals (4) in the group stage of UEFA’s main club competition.
In other words, Trubin, 22, “stopped 36.6 percent of the goals he could actually have conceded, given the probabilities of the shots he faced”, highlights GoalPoint, adding: “No goalkeeper in the competition stopped such a high percentage.”
Following the Eagles’ number 1, there are Anthony Racioppi (Young Boys), Omri Glazer (Red Est) and Gregor Köbel (B. Dortmund), with 3 defenders and Nick Pope (Newcastle), with 2.
Looking in detail at the games played, the trip to Inter Milan stands out. Benfica lost by the smallest margin in the 2nd round of Group D, but Vlachodimos’ successor performed at a great height with 7 saves, which results in a percentage of 85.71. In the remaining matches, he was never below 50 (both against Real Sociedad), and against Salzburg he finished with 60%. After 4 rounds in the Champions League, Benfica has suffered as many defeats and is already out of the round of 16 of the competition, with 7 goals conceded and only one scored. The balance is just no longer unbalanced…
