Robert Sánchez is the best goalkeeper at the Club World Cup by one of the key metrics

Chelsea have advanced to the knockout stage of the Club World Cup, and their goalkeeper played a pivotal role in this success, topping the chart in one of the most important statistical categories.

Details: According to Opta, Robert Sánchez currently leads the tournament in goals prevented. His figure stands at +2.35. He conceded three goals from an expected 5.35 xG on target faced.

It's worth noting that under Enzo Maresca, Nicolas Jackson is no longer a key starter. In fact, he could leave the club as early as this summer.

In the second round of the Club World Cup group stage, Nicolas Jackson came on in the 64th minute and was sent off just four minutes later. He committed a rough foul against a Flamengo player and received a straight red card.

Reminder: Chelsea qualified for the Club World Cup round of 16 from second place and will face Benfica in the playoffs.
