SERGIO RICO BREAKS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE APPEARANCE RECORD FOR GOALKEEPERS

Sergio Rico keeps breaking records. At 24 years of age, 135 appearances made, and 2 UEFA Europa League titles, this Wednesday, the home-grown keeper played his 17^th Champions League game, overtaking the 16 appearances of Andrés Palop, and breaking the record for Champions League appearances made by a Sevilla goalkeeper.

Rico, despite conceding two goals, was crucial in a dangerous first half which saw Liverpool dominate. With five saves, all equally impressive (perhaps none more so than to deny Mané who aimed to make it 3-1 before the break) the Sevilla keeper continued his impressive run of form which saw him put in another impressive perfomance against Getafe, where he rescued the side on a number of occasions with his sensational saves.
