The Czech goalkeeper is retiring this summer after a final season with Arsenal, having made his name in the UEFA Champions League during a mighty spell at Chelsea from 2004–15.
… you have a very short memory. ÄŚech has not played in the UEFA Champions League since 2015/16, but – at 36 – remains a goalkeeping icon in what he has confirmed will be his last season in professional football. A striker-turned-custodian, he made his competitive debut for Chmel Blšany at 17, then swiftly moved on to Sparta Praha before joining Rennes.
Čech made his UEFA Champions League debut for Sparta in a 0-0 group stage draw against Bayern München on 18 September 2001, when he was still 19. It was the first of four consecutive clean sheets as he settled into life among the elite. Absent from the competition during his Rennes spell from 2002–04, he then became a regular at Chelsea after returning in a 3-0 win at Paris Saint-Germain in September 2004.
In typical fashion, the Plzen native produced another clean sheet on the night he became the 19th player to make 100 appearances in the UEFA Champions League, during a 2-0 win against Galatasaray on 18 March 2014. “There is no question about motivation,” he said. “As long as you hear the anthem prior to the game, you have that special feeling.” In 111 appearances overall, he conceded 103 goals and kept 49 clean sheets.
His best moments
2012 final highlights: Chelsea 1-1 Bayern (4-3 pens)
Saving Arjen Robben’s spot kick in extra time and shoot-out attempts from Ivica Olić and Bastian Schweinsteiger as Chelsea beat Bayern in their own stadium to win the 2012 final. He told UEFA.com: “I have won many things in football, domestic cups and leagues, but that moment when Didier [Drogba] scored the last penalty and you know we’ve done it was an absolutely amazing feeling.”
Helping Chelsea to reach their first UEFA Champions League final in 2008, as the Blues beat Liverpool in extra-time of the semi-final decider at Stamford Bridge. “I think if we go through we’ll win it,” he said before the second leg; he was wrong on that point – United beat his side on penalties in Moscow, though he saved from Cristiano Ronaldo in the shoot-out.
Being Lionel Messi’s nemesis (for a while). The Argentinian could find no way past ÄŚech in six encounters with the goalkeeper during his time at Chelsea; “Not many can say they’ve played … against Messi and he hasn’t found a way to get past,” he said. Messi, however, had his revenge, scoring both goals as Barcelona beat Arsenal 2-0 in London in February 2016 in what looks set to be ÄŚech’s final UEFA Champions League outing.
“Chelsea fans will never forget what he did for the club. Great pro and a great bloke who gave his everything for the club to the end.” Frank Lampard, former Chelsea midfielder
“I remember in training we [were] doing a small-sided game and the game couldn’t start because you wanted the balls out of your net. I asked why. You said because you hated any football in your goal: this is a mentality that only the best have. A GREAT man who I am lucky to call a friend.” John Terry, former Chelsea captain
“Goalkeepers are more important than everybody thinks. When you look at his record it is absolutely fantastic, because considering the number of games he played and the number of games he had a clean sheet, that speaks for itself.” Arsène Wenger, former Arsenal manager
“It’s true that defensively we [weren’t as strong as some clubs], but we couldn’t blame Petr since he was the best goalkeeper I ever coached. In his area, he was as good as Ronaldo was at the other end of the pitch.” LászlĂł Bölöni, former Rennes coach
“One of the best goalkeepers I have ever seen.” Iker Casillas, Porto goalkeeper
“The best goalkeeper with his feet? Pepe Reina. In the air I’d say [Manuel] Neuer. With his hands: [Iker] Casillas. The best overall I’d say is ÄŚech.” Gianluigi Buffon, Paris goalkeeper
Holders Portugal will face Scotland, Turkey and Cyprus in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship elite round.
The draw in December was conducted by John Delaney, chairman of the UEFA Youth and Amateur Football Committee, and Ellery Balcombe, who received the 2018 U19 EURO Fair Play prize on behalf of last season’s England team.
Lionel Messi has racked up a remarkable 51 trebles for Barcelona and Argentina to date and is showing no signs of slowing down. UEFA.com crunches the numbers behind Messi’s hat-trick heroics.
Messi’s first career treble came against Real Madrid in March 2007, his most recent against Real Betis in March 2019; in over a decade of goalscoring, the Argentinian has returned eight hat-tricks in the UEFA Champions League, 33 in the Spanish Liga, three in the Copa del Rey, one in the Spanish Super Cup and a further six at international level.
Messi’s 33 Liga trebles are second only to Cristiano Ronaldo’s 34, so overhauling the Portuguese – now starring with Juventus in Serie A – is a realistic ambition for the Blaugrana ace.
At international level, the most important of Messi’s six Argentina hat-tricks came in Ecuador in October 2017, his triple strike securing the Albiceleste a place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
How do those numbers compare to his contemporaries’?
At domestic level, the Portuguese notched one hat-trick for Manchester United, 37 for Madrid (34 in the Liga, two in the Copa in addition to one in the FIFA Club World Cup) and boasts a further six for his country.
Messi’s club-mate Suárez boasts an outstanding hat-trick return: the Uruguayan plundered nine for Ajax, six for Liverpool (three of them against Norwich) and has 12 for Barcelona as well as a further two for his nation.
Three other South Americans – Agüero, Cavani and Falcao – have reached double figures for hat-tricks in recent years, while the relentless Lewandowski leads the European charge.
