Anatoliy Trubin Makes UEFA Champions League History

Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin has written his name into UEFA Champions League folklore after scoring a sensational goal that placed him among an elite and almost mythical group of players.
The Ukrainian shot-stopper became only the fifth goalkeeper in Champions League history to score in the competition — a feat so rare it borders on the extraordinary at the highest level of European club football.
Before Trubin, just four goalkeepers had ever found the net in the Champions League:
- Jörg Butt — 3 goals
- Sinan Bolat — 1 goal
- Vincent Enyeama — 1 goal
- Ivan Provedel — 1 goal
Now, Anatoliy Trubin proudly joins this exclusive list — and he did so in unforgettable fashion. His dramatic goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time against Real Madrid capped a stunning 4–2 victory and secured Benfica’s place in the Champions League play-offs.
