From the 2018 – 2019 Champions League season until now, no goalkeeper has made as many mistakes as Andre Onana, causing the home team to concede goals.

Onana’s terrible statistics

According to the Daily Mail , Manchester United’s first two goals in the draw with Galatasaray in the early morning of November 30 came from Onana ‘s clumsy handling .

In the first goal, the Cameroonian goalkeeper made an inaccurate judgment, allowing Hakim Ziyech to easily score even though the shot was not too dangerous or unpredictable.

In the second goal, Onana once again made Man Utd fans regret when he threw himself in the right direction but let the ball slip out of his hands.

With these two bad plays , Onana became the goalkeeper who made the most mistakes, causing the home team to concede goals in the Champions League in the past 5 years. In total, he has reported harm to the home team 7 times after 44 matches from the 2018 – 2019 season until now.

This number is more than double that of two other goalkeepers, Manuel Neuer and Geronimo Rulli (both with 3 errors). Notably, Neuer has only appeared 41 times and Rulli 12 times.

Coach Erik Ten Hag still protects Onana

In fact, many people have questioned Onana’s blocking ability since the two losses to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray in the first leg. When the draw with Galatasaray took place, he was criticized even more fiercely.

Former Man Utd midfielder Paul Scholes did not hesitate to criticize Onana harshly: “Onana turned seemingly simple saves into very difficult ones. In all three goals Man Utd lost today, Onana made all three mistakes. . Onana’s ability to judge and choose positions is too poor and looks very clumsy. This is an extremely bad performance.”

However, coach Erik Ten Hag still tries his best to protect his students: “We win and lose together. There is no problem with Onana. This is not about individuals. Individual mistakes in football can be makes a difference and you have to take responsibility for that, but it’s always a matter of the whole team. We are happy with our goalkeepers. They played very well and had a great performance “.

According to statistics from Opta, Man United became the first team to concede 14 goals in just 5 matches in the Champions League. With a conceding rate of 2.8 goals/match, the “Red Devils” defense is considered the weakest in history, even though in this year’s Champions League season they are the team scoring the most goals in Group A with 12 goals.
