Carlos Miguel tops Palmeiras keepers this century, see | OneFootball

After a strong start to the season, Carlos Miguel reached another impressive milestone with Palmeiras. He became the goalkeeper with the best clean-sheet rate among all players in the position who have played for the club this century. In total, he has made 30 appearances for Verdão and kept 15 clean sheets, meaning he has not conceded in 50% of his matches.

“We start playing without imagining what will happen in the future, a year later, eight months later. When I stop to look at how difficult the matches were when I started, the decisive games we had, the whole process was very important and, thank God, I was able to help and now I’ve reached this milestone,” he said.

“I’m happy and I share the credit with my teammates. We fight together, we celebrate when we clear a ball. That’s how a team is built, with warriors, with champions, and we have to have that spirit. I can only be thankful, I’m very happy about it,” he added.
