Casillas started the final and delivered a string of world class saves to keep a fearsome Bayer Leverkusen team at bay at Hampden Park. That volley from Zinedine Zidane eventually won Real the game. He would continue to develop throughout the s, and by , Casillas was on top of the world. Casillas' ran for nine years, with the option of a tenth. Was this IkerCasillas 's best ever save? A couple of years later, he pulled off one of the best stops Spanish football has ever seen.
Sevilla's Diego Perotti looked dead set to score as the ball was squared to him, but Casillas' famous lightning-quick reactions allowed him to adjust his feet, sprint across goal and launch himself downwards in the blink of an eye. Having made 16 international appearances for Germany already, he looks set to be the nation's No.
There can be no doubt he'll have far more opportunities in the future to increase his trophy count as well. Reason: Despite suffering a poor World Cup in , Hugo Lloris is still one of the top young European goalkeepers around nowadays. In fact, his worth to the national team was shown when he captained the country for the first time against England in November Hugo Lloris has not won any major trophies with either France or Lyon as of yet, but will still have many chances to win competitions in the future.
Individually, however, he has won the French Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year for the past two seasons running, as well as being in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year for both seasons as well. Lloris has had rumours circulating about him, having drawn interest from top European clubs including Arsenal—although, at the moment, he has said he is happy with Lyon. Reason: Had it not been for Maarten Stekelenburg, Ajax would have suffered some very heavy defeats in the Champions League group stage this past year.
The Dutch goalkeeper has been in such good form that he was selected as the first choice goalkeeper to lead the Netherlands to the World Cup Final. Stekelenburg is the replacement Dutch goalkeeper for the famous Edwin van der Sar and—although having achieved less—is still rated as having done a very admirable job following in his footsteps. He has been mooted as a potential successor to the very same goalkeeper at Manchester United as well.
Reason: Buffon should need no introduction to anyone who has been following football over recent years. He is rated as one of the top goalkeepers of all time, has won the Serie A goalkeeper of the year a record eight times, as well as taking numerous other honours in his time. He has won the Serie A twice with his club Juventus, as well as winning the Supercoppa Italiana three times. Reason: Petr Cech is another goalkeeper who should need no introduction to football fans around the globe.
The Chelsea goalkeeper held the record for most league games without conceding a goal, standing at 1, minutes, before Edwin van der Sar went on to beat the record last year. He was Brazil's starting goalkeeper in the World Cup, helping them reach the quarterfinals, but suffered a rare mistake which led to their exit from the competition. Reason: Although having never won any major trophies, Sebastien Frey has still been one of Europe's top performers in goal over the last decade.
Frey began his career with Cannes before moving to Serie A at just Since then, he has had successful spells at Inter Milan, Parma and now Fiorentina. He has a reputation as being quite an eccentric goalkeeper, often making saves more spectacular than they needed to be. Frey was a part of the France squad who took part in Euro , but because the nation has so many other strong goalkeepers, he has only ever managed to make two international appearances.
While his resume may not be as good as it deserves to be, Sebastien Frey is definitely a solid goalkeeper to have in any match. Reason: Like some of the other goalkeepers on this list, Joe Hart has never won any major trophies—but in his case, he has time on his side. Rated as one of the best young goalkeepers in the world, Hart has received praise from some of the best keepers in history, including Gordon Banks, Gianluigi Buffon and Iker Casillas.
He became England's No. Hart has so much time left in his career to win a major trophy and he has definitely given himself the best chances possible to do so. Handanovic has made over 42 appearances for his nation, including playing a key role in the World Cup in He has been a massively important part of the Udinese squad over recent years, helping them come close to winning domestic trophies on a number of occasions.
You have to take advantage. And how. After more than 1, senior appearances for Real Madrid, Porto and Spain, Casillas announced his retirement this week, his trophy cabinet a bulging treasure trove. One World Cup.
Two European Championships. Three Champions Leagues. Five Spanish league titles. Two Copa del Reys. Two Uefa Super Cups.
