Fernando Muslera, who transferred to Galatasaray in 2011, has achieved great success at the yellow-red club.
Having experienced 7 Süper Lig championships, 4 Turkish Cup titles, and 6 TFF Süper Cup victories, the Uruguayan goalkeeper has earned the title of the foreign player who has lifted the most trophies in Turkey.
Muslera, who has kept a clean sheet in 154 out of 405 matches played in the Süper Lig and conceded 390 goals, draws attention with an average of 0.96 goals conceded per match in the Süper Lig.
However, Muslera could not carry this success to Europe.
The experienced goalkeeper, who has played 71 matches in European cups with the Galatasaray jersey, was able to keep a clean sheet in only 14 matches, while conceding 120 goals.
In Europe, he remained behind his performance in the Süper Lig with an average of 1.69 goals conceded per match.
Most recently, the 38-year-old goalkeeper, who was at fault for the first two goals conceded in Galatasaray's match against Young Boys, was substituted at halftime due to an injury.
The clean MRI result following his return from Switzerland indicates that Muslera will be on the pitch for the return leg.
