- Leagues Cup 2024 begins on Friday night
- Liga MX have several quality goalkeepers playing their trade for the league's biggest clubs
- A former Borussia Dortmund shot-stopper could have his work cut out for him in the Group Stage
Leagues Cup 2024 will see several top-notch goalkeepers take the stage in a bid to propel their respective sides to wins in between the sticks.
Having a quality shot-stopper is a must in soccer, and that theme is even more true in a tournament such as Leagues Cup. Matches will be full of end-to-end action, putting goalkeepers to the test with the huge amount of attacking quality on display.
Here are the five best goalkeepers taking part in Leagues Cup 2024.
5. Roman Burki - St Louis CITY
St Louis CITY's Roman Burki remains one of the best goalkeepers in all of MLS after his time in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund. St Louis aren't exactly favorites for Leagues Cup, but Burki could play a huge part in them escaping the Group Stage and reaching the knockout phase.
4. Kevin Mier - Cruz Azul
While all the attention in the Cruz Azul squad will more than likely be on new signing Giorgos Giakoumakis, don't forgot about Kevin Mier. The 24-year-old has kept three clean sheets in four appearances in the 2024 Apertura campaign and has helped return Cruz Azul to prominence.
3. Maxime Crepeau - Portland Timbers
Maxime Crepeau has become of a bit of an MLS journeyman as he's now playing for his fourth Major League Soccer team with Portland Timbers. However, don't mistake that for him not being good enough to stick around in one place -- he's Canada's starting goalkeeper, after all.
2. Esteban Andrada - CF Monterrey
One of the reason's Monterrey are considered favorites for Leagues Cup is because of veteran shot-stopper Esteban Andrada. The 33-year-old has faced a tough time in the opening stages of the 2024 Apertura season, but he'll look to brush that aside for Leagues Cup.
1. Luis Malagon - Club America
Luis Malagon is blessed to have defenders like Sebastian Caceres and Israel Reyes in front of his goal, but don't forget that he's one of the best shot-stoppers on the continent. If America are to go all the way in this summer's Leagues Cup, don't be surprised to see Malagon play a huge role.
