The German "Transfermarkt" website, which specializes in football numbers and statistics, revealed a list of the 20 most goalkeepers in the five major leagues who kept clean sheets during the year that we said goodbye to, in all club competitions or national team competitions.

The Spanish League dominated this list, as it was known that there were 8 guards from the “La Liga”, followed by the English League with 7 guards, then the Italian League with 3 guards, then the German and French Leagues came with one goalkeeper each.

Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker - goalkeeper for the English team Liverpool and the Brazil national team - came at the top of the ranking of the most clean-sheeted goalkeepers during 2022, at the level of the "Reds" or with his country's national team.

As for the second place, it went to his compatriot Ederson, the English goalkeeper for Manchester City and the second goalkeeper for the Brazil national team, after he played 48 matches and kept clean sheets in 24 of them.

As for the poles of the Spanish League, Barcelona and Real Madrid, first-team goalkeeper Andre Ter Stegen came in fourth place with 22 clean matches (out of 50 matches), and royal club goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois ranked 13th with 17 matches (out of 59 matches).

This list was known for the presence of the Arab glove, represented by Yassin Bounou - the goalkeeper of the Moroccan national team and the Spanish team Seville - who won the "Zamora" award as the best goalkeeper in the Spanish League last season.

Bono finished 14th behind Courtois, having kept clean sheets in 17 of the 52 matches he played with his Andalusian team and with the "Atlas Lions".
