Espanyol will face a new ‘final’ this Saturday at the RCDE Stadium in their race to escape the relegation zone. He is visited by Celta, a direct rival but now sweet, so he pushes himself towards the quiet place. But Diego Martínez’s men need to add three at home, especially at home. Although on Saturday he will run into a wall under the sticks, the light blue goalkeeper Iván Villar.
Exactly, the Celta goalkeeper is just 30 minutes away from making recent club history and bettering the unbeaten record held by José Manuel Pinto and Rubén Blanco, who went 385 minutes without conceding a goal in 2005 -06 season and 2019-20 , respectively. Note that the Spaniard will try to fail, score as soon as possible on Saturday at the parakeet coliseum.
The goalkeeper from Cangas de Morrazo, who took over after Marchesín’s serious injury, can improve that record in Saturday’s game against Espanyol, after keeping clean sheets against Valladolid, Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano.
So far, Iván Villar has accumulated 355 minutes without conceding a goal. The last goal he conceded was in the game played on February 18 against Real Sociedad in Anoeta, when Mikel Oyarzabal put the San Sebastian team ahead in the 5th minute.
