Top 10 Indian goalkeepers of 2016

#9 Luis Barreto (Readers Ranking – 8th)

Average Score – 2

The East Bengal custodian helped his team finish third in the I-League this season. He signed to play for FC Goa in the ISL but did not play a single game ahead of Laxmikant Kattimani.

The veteran goalkeeper played ten games for East Bengal in the I-League last season. He conceded ten goals in those games, as the Red and Gold brigade finished only behind eventual champions Bengaluru FC and their fierce rivals Mohun Bagan.

That has meant that East Bengal now have an outside chance of playing in the 2017 AFC Cup. They are the stand-by team and will make the group stages if Bengaluru FC win their two AFC Champions League qualifiers and make it through to the group stage.

The veteran goalkeeper probably does not have too many years of football left in front of him, but he will be satisfied with what he achieved when he stepped on the pitch in 2016.
