Jasper Cillessen has a Better Statistic than Ter Stegen

DBasia.news –  Jasper Cillesen will most likely play his last match with Barcelona against Valencia in the Copa del Rey final at Benito Villamarin, Sunday (26/5) WIB.

According to news reported by Marca, Cillessen had agreed to join Benfica and Benfica’s side and Barcelona were left to find an agreement on the price of the transfer.

Barca wanted 25 million euros for Cillessen and Benfica to sell at a price of 15 million euros. It was only a matter of time before the two clubs found an agreement. Moreover, Cillessen really wanted to leave Barcelona.

Three years playing with Barcelona after moving from Ajax Amsterdam, Cillessen only appeared five times in La Liga and lost to Claudio Bravo (now at Manchester City) and Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Cillessen’s situation was unique as he was the first goalkeeper of the Dutch national team who had packed 48 caps. So, the match against Valencia will be the last for fans to watch the appearance of the Nijmegen-born goalkeeper, April 22 1989.

Cillessen’s status is indeed the second goalkeeper in Barcelona. However, in this century, following the statistics at Marca, Cillessen was the second best goalkeeper the Blaugrana had ever had. The record is better than Ter Stegen’s.

The note in question is the number of goals conceded per minute. Cillessen was second best and whats great is that Cillessen won Barcelona’s last two Copa de Rey – sweeping of the Copa del Rey title cleanly.

Cillessen has an average of 0.74 goals conceded per game, while Ter Stegen, who has always been a starter for the past few seasons, conceded 0.9 goals per game. Only Bravo (0.58) and Victor Valdes (0.82) who have statistics that are better than Cillessen.

However, by playing far fewer matches than Ter Stegen and the consistency of the German goalkeeper in playing, Cillessen had great difficulty seizing the number one position of the Barca goalkeeper. It’s reasonable if he wants to move to another club.
