Barcelona: Barcelona's goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen is currently level at 26 clean sheets in a season with Deportivo goalkeeper Paco Liano, who set the record for most clean sheets in 1993/94.
Barcelona still has one game to play, which means Ter Stegen can break the record of Paco Liano. Stegen is also likely to win the golden glove award. The golden glove award is given to a keeper who has kept the most number of clean sheets in a season, which means conceding the least number of goals.
Barcelona will play their last league match against Celta Vigo on June 4.
Barcelona and Ter Stegen have another record to break in their sight. Currently, they have matched the record of Chelsea of most clean sheets in a season by a team.
In the 2004/05 season, Chelsea under Jose Mourinho and Goalkeeper Petr Cech kept 25 clean sheets in a single season. Barcelona are currently levelled with that record and can even break it if they keep a clean sheet against Celta Vigo.
At Barcelona, Ter Stegen has won five La Liga titles, one Champions League, five Copa del Rey, one Club World Cup, one European Super Cup and three Spanish Super Cups.
With Germany, he won one Confederations Cup in 2017 and European Under-19 Championship in 2009.
