Carlos Miguel shines at Palmeiras, leads global stats among goalkeepers | OneFootball

Amid a year of restructuring, marked by the arrival of several reinforcements to Palmeiras, the signing of Carlos Miguel stands out as one of the most impactful additions to the squad. Even with the presence of Weverton, a club idol, he took over as the starting goalkeeper for Alviverde and stands out in a significant statistic when compared to goalkeepers from the main leagues around the world.

According to Sofascore, a platform specializing in sports statistics, Carlos Miguel is the goalkeeper with the highest percentage of clean sheets among all goalkeepers in the top 10 leagues since his debut for Palmeiras. In total, he has played 15 matches, keeping a clean sheet in 66.7% of them.

Initially signed to compete for the position with Weverton, Carlos Miguel gained his spot after the then-starter suffered a hand fracture. The new number 1 delivered on the field, established himself in the team, and secured the starting role—a scenario that led to Weverton's departure, as he sought more playing time and ended up transferring to Grêmio.

So far, Carlos Miguel has conceded only 10 goals while guarding the Alviverde net, which represents an average of 0.67 goals conceded per match.
