Carlos Miguel hits impressive milestone at Palmeiras, find out more | OneFootball

Carlos Miguel has been collecting good numbers at the start of his journey with Palmeiras. In the 1-0 victory over São Paulo last Saturday, during the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, the goalkeeper reached an important milestone.

The goalkeeper left the field without conceding a goal in 15 of the 30 games he played for Verdão. With 50% of matches with a clean sheet, he boasts the best rate among all 18 goalkeepers who have played this century, followed by Weverton (48%) and Marcelo Lomba (40%).

In terms of average goals conceded, Carlos Miguel also leads among all 15 goalkeepers who have played championship matches this century: 0.73 (22 goals in 30 games), alongside Weverton (0.73). Completing the top 5 are Jailson (0.87), Marcelo Lomba (0.96), and Fernando Prass (1.03).

Carlos Miguel joined Palmeiras in 2025, after an uneventful stint at Nottingham Forest in England. The goalkeeper, valued at R$ 35 million, arrived as a backup but took over the starting position after Weverton suffered a hand injury and has not left since.

Palmeiras' Phase

With the victory over São Paulo, Palmeiras isolated themselves at the top of the Brazilian Championship. Verdão reached 19 points, three more than Tricolor and Fluminense, who are in second and third place, respectively.
