CL Keeper Showdown

By: Matthew | February 25th, 2009

Gianluigi Buffon vs Petr Cech.
Two very big names in the world of keeping. Both are viable contenders for the title of “Best Keeper Around” , both are constantly in comparison, and neither of the two have won a Champions League title.
Tomorrow’s match will be a joy to watch for many many reasons but i’m sticking to the keepers in this post.

Buffon, since coming back from injury has been playing strong, albeit shaky at times, for Juve and he has expressed his excitement about being back in the CL. I have no reason to expect anything less than a rock solid performance from the #1 himself.


Petr Cech was glorious in last years CL and has been solid this year for Chelsea. Sure, some may say that he was the reason the Czech Republic were eliminated from the Euro’s but I personally believe it was one awful mistake and that he’s moved past it. I have a lot of respect for this man. I’m sure the sour taste of defeat still lingers in his mouth from last year. There’s no doubt he will be giving it his all.

All keepers out there should be watching this match.

For the rest of the teams, check out the Juve offside for a full write up.

Sempre Juve.
