Ivan Provedel, Lazio’s goalkeeper, etched his name into the annals of Champions League history during a memorable match against Atletico Madrid. Provedel achieved the remarkable feat of scoring the equalizer for Lazio with a stunning header.

Provedel’s goal is significant not only because it helped Lazio secure a valuable point but also because it made him the fourth goalkeeper in Champions League history to find the back of the net. What sets Provedel apart is that he achieved this feat without taking a penalty. It’s been a remarkable 13 years since the last goalkeeper managed to score in the Champions League, with Vincent Enyeama being the last to do so in 2010.

Here is the exclusive list of goalkeepers who have managed to score in the Champions League, a testament to their extraordinary skills:

  1. Hans-Jorg Butt (penalty for Hamburg vs. Juventus in 2000)
  2. Hans-Jorg Butt (penalty for Leverkusen vs. Juventus in 2002)
  3. Hans-Jorg Butt (penalty for Bayern Munich vs. Juventus in 2009)
  4. Sinan Bolat (header for Standard Liege vs. AZ Alkmaar in 2009)
  5. Vincent Enyeama (penalty for Hapoel Tel Aviv vs. Salzburg in 2010)
  6. Ivan Provedel (header for Lazio vs. Atletico Madrid in 2023)

 

Provedel’s remarkable goal adds another chapter to the fascinating history of goalkeepers leaving their mark on the grandest stage of European football.
