David Raya leads Europe’s top-five leagues clean sheet rankings in 2025-26

Sports

A new statistical ranking covering Europe’s leading five domestic competitions has identified the goalkeepers with the most clean sheets in the 2025-26 season, with David Raya currently positioned at the top of the table.

How the ranking works

The assessment spans performances from the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A and the Bundesliga. Where two keepers finish level on clean sheets, the order is decided by the number of goals conceded.

Keepers leading the standings

Arsenal’s shot-stopper has played a key part in the club’s defensive stability this term, making several crucial saves as he moves closer to the Premier League Golden Glove award.

Como’s goalkeeper has matched Raya’s clean-sheet tally and has been central to the Italian club’s disciplined defensive organisation under Cesc Fàbregas.

Roma’s goalkeeper has continued to rise, putting together a run of steady displays as the team fights for a place in European competition.

Inter’s experienced Swiss international has also been singled out for standout contributions during the club’s successful Serie A title campaign.

At Barcelona, the new first-choice goalkeeper has impressed since taking over between the posts from Marc-André ter Stegen.

Clean-sheet leaders highlighted

  • Gianluigi Donnarumma — 15 clean sheets
  • Michele Di Gregorio — 14 clean sheets

Donnarumma has continued to underline his reputation with a series of commanding performances across the campaign.

AC Milan’s French goalkeeper remains among the most dependable keepers in Europe, sustaining strong form in Serie A.

Di Gregorio has provided Juventus with a dependable presence, helping the Turin club maintain defensive consistency throughout the season.

In the Bundesliga, the Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper leads the list’s German representation and continues to build his standing as one of Europe’s top-tier shot-stoppers.

Lille’s goalkeeper completes the top 10 after an impressive Ligue 1 run, contributing significantly to the club’s defensive record.

What happens next

With the campaign still in progress, the contest for the highest number of clean sheets remains wide open, even though Raya currently holds the lead in the standings.
