Top 10 Goalkeepers

Top 10 GoalKeepers

 Manuel Neuer ( Bayern Munich/ Germany)


The World cup winner and Bundesligia Champion is no doubt currently the world's best shot stopper. He is also known as the sweeper keeper and acts as the 5th defender when in need, He is remarked as the best shot ceaser during round of penalties and was one of the three finalist for the fifa ballon d'or 2015 and tops the place amongst the best keepers.





      Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus/ Italy)



Yes the Italian giant will be placed on the 2nd spot. He is eminent and sharp with his calibre as a goalkeeper and at the age of 37 is still as one of the best. He is still the no.1 choice for both club and country.






David De Gea(Manchester United/Spain)




It was really hard for the 3rd spot but David should be on the 3rd place, with giving back to back to amazing performances for Manchester United who are currently not playing well, David has been their to save them, with the poor defence of United David has been their ray of hope and is also considered as the long term successor for Iker Casillas for Spain.



  Thibaut Courtois( Chelsea/ Belgium)


Winning the La Liga wasn’t enough for this young lad who now has returned to Chelsea to help them win the Premier league. At just 22 he has emerged to be as one of the best keepers in the world and as said by courtois himself he is never nervous and will not fear penalty shootout. Well I must say that this attitude will lead him being the world's no.1 keeper.







  Hugo Lloris(Tottenham hotspurs/ France)


With amazing performances for Tottenham Lloris has boasting a long reach and superb reflexes, The French captain is capable of keeping strikers at bay when his team are firmly under the cosh. He was signed by Tottenham in   August 2012 as they looked for a long-term option between the posts. Must improve his decision making but an undisputed first choice for club and country.





Petr Cech (Chelsea/ Czech Republic)




Currently playing for Chelsea cech has always been a consistent performer with making few errors and helping Chelsea to Win three premier league titles and a champions league. He recovered from a fractured skull sustained in a controversial challenge by Reading’s Stephan Hunt in 2008 and now holds the 6th position in best goalkeeper list.
     

                                      


     Iker Casillas(Real Madrid/ Spain)




You just cannot hate this person, he also known the ‘Saint Iker’ and before being dropped for much of 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons he was considered as the worlds best goalkeeper and continues to remain a club legend. Casillas always had problem with inadequate defence infront of  him but that always made him show his class with his acrobatic stops and by putting his body on the line when his team needed him the most.







    Joe Hart(Manchester City/ England)



The Manchester city stopper possessed with calmness and authority has made a huge contribution to City’s title win in 2012 season. Though Hart needs to improve his handling and minimize his errors which proves costly to his club and country, Hart holds the number 8 postion on our list.




     


 Samir Handanovic(Inter Milan/ Slovenia)



Plays for Inter Milan the 6ft 5inch stopper. He showed his class when he conceded only 4 fours in 10 matches while qualifying for 2010 world cup, with his agility and penalty saving he has been the spine of Slovenia team and Inter Milan.






   Salvatore Sirigu (PSG/ Italy)




The Paris Saint German team that has won 2 consecutive league, 1 title is largely made up of expensive superstars, But goalkeeper Sirigu doesn't quite fit into that category. He has been superb since his arrival from Palermo and is likely to be the successor to the legendary Buffon for his national team.
