Andoni Zubizarreta was one of Spain’s greatest goalkeepers, a commanding and remarkably durable presence who set records for appearances at club and international level. Calm under pressure and consistent across a lengthy career, he was the last line for a golden generation.
After emerging at Athletic Bilbao, he became a mainstay of Barcelona’s celebrated side and a long-serving national-team custodian, admired for his reliability and professionalism across many seasons at the top.
