Trubin: the best U23 shot-stopper in Europe's elite

Trubin was the goalkeeper under 23 who prevented the most expected goals in Europe's top seven leagues last season. The Benfica goalkeeper matched the performance of those who played in the 2023/24 Champions League.

If, in the Portuguese league, as the statistics from the Wyscout platform attest, the 22-year-old Ukrainian international has 8.67 goals prevented (0.28 per 90 minutes), beating all the competition, regardless of age - Ricardo Velho, from Farense, was the closest, with 7.61 goals and 0.21 per game - in the major leagues of the Old Continent (England, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Portugal), no Under-23 keeper has beaten him either.

In the 2023/24 Champions League, the final of which was played last Saturday, June 1, at Wembley, Trubin also led the Under-23s with 2.13 expected goals saved (0.32 per 90 minutes), and was also the best in the percentage of accurate reflexes, with 73.08%.

Another analytical angle, based on statistical data provided by DataMB Pro, reveals that Trubin was the U23 goalkeeper with the highest percentage of effective saves in the seven major European leagues, recording 78% of successful interventions.
