On Tuesday evening, Ederson wowed football fans across the world once again.

Early in the first half of Manchester City's 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazilian goalkeeper produced a stunning pass to kickstart the move for Riyad Mahrez's opening goal.

It was yet another stroke of genius from a man who who has redefined his playing position over the past few years.

City's dominant display at the Etihad also saw Ederson record his 20th clean sheet in Champions League action.

That figure puts the former Benfica man 21st on the list of shot-stoppers with the most clean sheets in the history of club football's biggest competition.

Thanks to Transfermarkt, we've provided the rest of the top 30 below. Those with the same number of clean sheets have been ranked by the number of Champions League games played.

Casillas sits comfortably top of the pile, although much of the Spaniard's impressive haul of clean sheets is due to the fact that he's played more Champions League games than any other player in history.

The Real Madrid legend's record should remain unbroken for some time yet, although there's a good chance Neuer will surpass his total of 59 before calling time on his playing career.
