Hi! I’m Antonio L. My favorite sport is soccer. I like talking about the best players and their significance in the game. I will rate the players for every position, starting with the Goalkeepers.
5. David Raya
The Spanish goal stopper has been building himself up since his debut for the Blackburn Rockers in 2013. In 2017 he made his first official transfer to Brentford FC. Then afterwards, in 2022, he made his debut in the Spanish national team. Afterwards, he went to play in Arsenal after being on loan. Now the Spanish goal stopper continues to stop goals.
4. Allison Becker
This goalkeeper has been playing for 16 years. He made his debut in the Brazil U-17 national team in 2009. Then he made his pro debut in the sports club Internacional. Soon in 2013, he started playing in Brazil’s U-20 team. In 2015 he made his debut in Brazil’s national team. Soon he was overseas for his debut in AS Roma in 2016. Two years later, he joined Liverpool in the Premier League.
He is one of the only goalkeepers to score a goal. In a match against West Ham, the teams were tied one to one. It was the last minute, and Alisson decided to run up into the box and try to score a header. And that’s exactly what he did. The Brazilian stopper continues to stop most goals that come his way.
3. Gianluigi Donnarumma
The recent champions league winner is one of the best goalkeepers ever. He made his debut in 2013 for AC Millan U-19. Then in 2014, he made his debut for the Italian U-17 national team. Soon afterwards, he made his first Serie A debut for AC Millan in 2015. Then, the next year, he debuted for the Italian U-21 and the Italian national team. He faced a lot of challenges before his transfer in 2021, like missing the world cup in 2018 due to a bad performance in the last few years. In 2021 he had a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. Then, in 2022, Italy did not qualify for the world cup for the second time in a row.
Soon after, his troubles would come to an end. Over the summer, Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Champions League. They were beating all of the teams and when they qualified for the final, they beat inter milan with a final score of five to zero. He was declared the best of the season, but not the best of all time. Then, recently he transferred to Manchester city. Now, he still stops most shots that come his way.
2. Thibaut Courtois
He is a goal stopping machine. Born in Belgium, he made his debut for genk in belgium in the season 2009. Then, in 2011, he was a key figure in Genk’s victory in the belgium pro league. Then he was signed for Chelsea. This caused the attention of a club in Spain, atletico de madrid. They loaned him in the 2011-2012 season. At this time, he also made his debut in the Belgium national team.
Soon after with a continuing loan until 2013, he played for Athletico de Madrid. Then in the 2013-2014 season, his loan ended. He played for Chelsea until his last season in 2016-2017 when he won the premier league golden glove. This got the attention of the Spanish club Real Madrid. He still plays for Real Madrid today and has won three champions leagues. The first one was in his first champions league with real madrid in 2018. Then he won one in 2022 and in 2024. He still continues to stop goals today.
1. Manuel Neuer
He is the greatest goalkeeper of all time. He had his first ever high level match when he joined FC Schalke’s U 18 team. Then in 2005 he joined Germany’s U 21 national team. Then he made his Bundesliga debut in 2006 for FC Schalke’s professional team. Then three years later, he joined Germany’s national team in 2009. Then he made his debut for Bayern Munich in 2011 during his prime. Still he continues to stop almost everything in his path.
