Arsenal keeper’s humiliation summed up in one stat
As a bad night gets just a little bit better for
Arsenal, it’s time to reflect on the man having
the worst night at times like this.
Although he’s pulled off at least one magnificent
save tonight, Cech has been beaten four times,
and it could be more by the end of the evening.
It’s not his fault, but as a keeper you can play
very well and still be beaten a humiliating number
of times. It’s just part of the job.
And it’s part of the job that Cech knows about all
too well in the Champions League. As this stat
proves.
100 - Petr Cech has conceded his 100th goal
at #UCL - only 3 goalkeeper more (Casillas,
Shovkovskiy and Kahn). Jubilee. #FCBARS

It’s a stat that both praises and demeans Cech,
really. To have conceded the most is rarely a
good record to have, but in this case he’s in
exalted company. In order to have conceded 100
goals in the Champions League, you have to have
played a fairly large number of Champions
League games - or else you have to have been a
very bad keeper indeed.
Cech may have conceded a ton of goals, but he
can rest easy in the knowledge that he’s
probably saved his sides more times than he’s
let them down.
