Now Moving to the Europa League 2018/19 season
And busting the myth that Kepa Arrizabalaga’s heroics won us the UEFA Europa League 2018/19
So here we go
(5/n)
Kepa had started 13 games that season for us in the UEFA Europa League
FYI , the maximum number of games a player can play in a season in the UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE is 15
So he missed just 2 games for us
And played in all the remaining 13 games in the UEL that season
(6/n)
Kepa made 17 saves for us that season in the UEL
Ranking 27th among all goalkeepers for total number of Saves made in UEL that season
Kepa Arrizabalaga had a 68% Save Percentage in the UEL that season
Ranking 28th among all GK’s in the UEL that season
(7/n)
PSxG stats:
Kepa underperformed his PSxG by 2.4 goals
Meaning he conceded 2.4 goals more than what was expected from the shots he faced
Bad for a GK
So basically, In simple words,
He had a PSxG of -2.4
He ranked 81st for PSxG among all GK’s in the UEL that Season
81st...
(8/n)
PSxG /90 stats :
PSxG/90 is basically PSxG per 90 minutes played
Kepa had a PSxG/90 (+/-) of a -0.18

Kepa Arrizabalaga ranked 37th for PSxG/90 among all the goalkeepers to have played in the UELthat season
(9/n)
A reminder that only players who have played a minimum of 3 games in the UEL and 17 games in the Premier League that season were considered when ranking the goalkeeper according to their “Per 90 Minutes Stats “ , like the PSxG/90
(10/n)
Simple way
In the UEL 2018/19 season
Kepa ranked:
Save Percentage: 28th (68 % Save percentage)
Saves Made : 27th (17 Saves made)
PSxG(+/-) : 81st (-2.4 PSxG)
PSxG/90(+/-) : 37th (-0.18 PSxG/90)
(Only players who played minimum 3 games were considered for PSxG/90 stats)
(11/n)
Hence we can say that Kepa Arrizabalaga didn’t have a good season in 18/19 for Chelsea
He was a “Below Average” Goalkeeper In the 2018/19 season for Chelsea
In 19/20 , he’s just worsened even more to become a “Horrible Goalkeeper”
Kepa Fanboys can go fuck themselves
