As Real Madrid narrowly defeated Racing Santander 1:0 in La Liga yesterday to move up to 1st place in the standings, Iker Casillas climbed up the FTBL world ranking of goalkeepers to claim the 2nd spot with a score of 124.93 points.

The Spain international now trails the #1 in the world, Chelsea’s Petr Cech (132.34 points), by just 7 rating points. He earned 17.30 rating points in the FTBL system in yesterday’s game as the 3 rating points he dropped in the Champions League game against AC Milan were added to his score.

Casillas will face a plank of just 9.6 rating points in the coming Champions League game against FC Zürich, while Cech will face a plank 5 points higher when the Blues take on FC Porto.

Who becomes the #1 goalkeeper in the world after the next round of Champions League games will be determined between these two world stars.
