Incredible statistic from Nübel! Europe's number 1 is at Beşiktaş

Alexander Nübel, whom Beşiktaş added to their squad from Bayern Munich after long negotiations, has made an impressive start to the season in the black-and-white jersey. The German goalkeeper has not conceded a goal in the 3 matches he played in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, saving all 13 shots on target that came his way.

In the match where the black-and-whites defeated Hradec Kralove 1-0 with a goal from Semih Kılıçsoy despite being reduced to 10 men on the road to the play-offs, Nübel was one of the standout names of the victory. The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who did not allow a goal in 8 dangerous attempts against the Czech representative, played an important role in his team's advantage on the path to the next round.

Nübel had previously made 5 critical saves in the two matches played against Midtjylland. With his performance against Hradec Kralove, the German goalkeeper's total number of saves in the Europa League qualifiers reached 13, and he has managed to keep a clean sheet in the first part of his Beşiktaş career.

The Beşiktaş management had conducted long negotiations with Bayern Munich for the Nübel transfer; it was stated that the transfer was completed with a transfer fee of 6.5 million Euros. The experienced goalkeeper's composed demeanor and reflexes in his first matches have also become a source of confidence in head coach Vincenzo Italiano's defensive structure.

Beşiktaş fans, who have been searching for stability in goal in recent years, responded quickly to Nübel's performance. After the Hradec Kralove match, the German goalkeeper, who was called to the stands by the fans, led the traditional "üçlü" chant with the supporters and became the focus of praise from the black-and-white faithful on social media.
