Simon surpasses Casillas's World Cup record
Simon, the goalkeeper for Spain, has broken his compatriot Iker Casillas's record after keeping a clean sheet in 9 out of 12 matches in the World Cup, surpassing the previous record of 7 clean sheets in 17 matches. Simon achieved this feat quickly, across two tournaments, with 4 clean sheets in the 2022 World Cup and 8 in the 2026 World Cup. This number is a record in World Cup history, as he maintained a clean net in approximately 73% of his matches, compared to 41% for Casillas. Simon's performance is one of the main reasons behind Spain's success, as the team conceded only one goal in the tournament—making them the first team in history not to receive more than one goal in their journey to winning the World Cup. Simon remains among the top goalkeepers in terms of total clean sheets in World Cup history, surpassing many names and only behind Fabián Bartez and Peter Shilton, who each have 10 clean sheets.
