varol was a Besiktas goalkeeper Turkish that on November 13, 1958, in a European Cup match at the Santiago Bernabeu, gave a stops recital against Real Madrid by Di Stéfano, Puskas, Gento and company never seen before. Nothing less than 33. Such was the exhibition that it went down in history. Since then, any goalkeeper who gives a intervention recital to the despair of the opponent.
In line with this reference we speak of Louis Maximian. The Granada goalkeeper is being one of the sensations of the championship. Signed from Sporting Clube de Portugal, he is paying off with huge interventions the 4.5 million euros that his signing cost. Barcelona continues to think of him as a future Ter Stegen’s successor.
reviewing the interesting statistics made by BeSoccerwe find that Luis Maximiano is the goalkeeper who makes the most stops in the First Division. They are 4.1 interventions every 90 minutes with an average of 1.56 goals conceded per game. Behind the Portuguese are Aitor Fernández (3.9), Edgar Badía (3.7), Diego López (3.4), Kiko Casilla (3.3), Cilessen (3.2), Ledesma (3.2), Dituro (2.9), Dimitrievski (2.8), Rulli (2.8), Pacheco (2.7), Courtois (2.7), Cárdenas (2.6), Manolo Reina (2.6), Rui Silva (2.5), Remiro (2.5), David Silva (2.4), Unai Simón (2.4 ), Bono (2.4) and Sergio Herrera (2.2).

But if we go to major leagues in Europe eye. Luis Maximiano is the fourth goalkeeper who most for in every match. Only Sergio Romero, Rieman and Belec are above. And Omlim, Meslier, Aitor Fernández, Álvaro Fernández, Vicario, Schmeichel., Provedel, Ortega, Sommer, Hradecky, Trap, Edgar Badía, De Gea, Lopes, Krull or Sirigu come from behind. It’s not bad at all.
total stops made by Luis Maximiano in the 22 games he has played (in the other two who participated was Aaron) amounts to 85. Possibly, many of these interventions have given many points to Granada that next Monday will face a final against Cadiz in the New Mirandilla. Luis Maximiano has a contract with Granada until June 30.
