Two saves in 0-0 draw
Radu recorded two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Betis.
Analysis: Radu made two saves as he helped his side to their fifth clean sheet of the season in La Liga. In his five clean sheets this season, he has made at least two saves in each of these games and on three of these occasions he has made two saves.
Eight saves, still allows one
Radu recorded eight saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Deportivo Alaves.
Analysis: Radu was in for a busy day Sunday and did well to stop most of the shots with eight saves, although he would allow a late goal to lose the clean sheet. This does end his two-match streak in league play with a clean sheet, remaining with four in nine appearances this season. He will now prepare for UEL action against Celtic on Thursday before another league match against Betis on Oct. 25.
Records second straight clean sheet
Radu recorded two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Elche.
Analysis: Radu delivered another solid performance between the posts, making two saves to secure his second consecutive clean sheet. The goalkeeper was particularly important in stoppage time, reacting quickly to deny Martim Neto and preserve the goalless draw. He has now registered 23 saves, conceded six goals and kept four clean sheets across eight LaLiga appearances this season. Radu will aim to extend his shutout streak to three matches against Alaves.
Stays on bench Monday
Radu (shoulder) was on the bench in Romania's 1-1 loss to Sweden on Monday in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League.
Analysis: Radu didn't come off the bench Monday, but his presence in the squad for his match suggests the goalkeeper is no longer dealing with the shoulder problem that ruled him out of the previous contest against Poland. Radu, who has three clean sheets in the 2026/27 LaLiga season, is expected to be an option for the match against Elche on Sunday in the resumption of the league campaign.
Ruled out with shoulder discomfort
Radu won't play Friday's clash against Poland due to shoulder discomfort, according to coach Gheorghe Hagi, per GSP. "He has some shoulder discomfort, I was aware of it, Hindrich will be in goal."
Analysis: Radu had recently earned his third clean sheet of the season with a five-save shutout in the win over Racing Santander, building solid momentum heading into the international break. This setback is a minor one to monitor, and his recovery timeline will be worth tracking ahead of the club's return to action against Elche on Oct. 11.
Clean sheet against Racing
Radu registered five saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 5-0 win over Racing Santander.
Analysis: Radu was in for a great match Saturday as he held Racing to zero goals during a clean sheet, notching five saves in the process. This is his third clean sheet of the season thus far in seevn games. He will now head into the international break with some solid momentum, facing Elche when they resume play on Oct. 11.
Only save in draw
Radu made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Malaga.
Analysis: Radu made one save while allowing a goal in Sunday's draw against Malaga. Despite the result, he has been reliable to begin the season, recording 16 saves and five high claims while conceding just four goals and keeping two clean sheets through five appearances.
Allows one against Getafe
Radu made one save and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Getafe.
Analysis: Radu didn't see much action on net Monday but still allowed a goal in the draw, saving one of the shots he faced on target. This comes after a clean sheet last outing, remaining at two this season. He will face Malaga on Sunday next, a decent chance for the keeper to get back on track.
Clean sheet against Sociedad
Radu recorded five saves and secured a clean sheet in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Real Sociedad.
Analysis: Radu had a great day in net as he earned his team a point in a draw, making five saves while earning a clean sheet. This already gives the keeper his second clean sheet of the season, as he opened the season with one as well. He will now prepare to face Getafe, a solid chance to make it a third clean sheet this season.
Allows two goals
Radu had five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Athletic.
Analysis: Radu did make five saves to keep Celta Vigo in the match but he also conceded the game's only goals. The goalkeeper has a challenging matchup against Real Sociedad, a team which scored 59 goals in LaLiga last season and has three to start this campaign in three matches.
Concedes twice in loss
Radu had two saves and allowed two goals in Thursday's 2-1 loss against Osasuna.
Analysis: Radu gave up two goals in the second half, though it's hard to fault him too much with Celta Vigo going down a man. The goalkeeper should get some respite against Athletic, a side which has already conceded five goals this season after allowing 58 a year ago.
Keeps clean sheet at Mestalla
Radu made two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Valencia. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 80th minute.
Analysis: Radu faced very little sustained pressure but responded when Valencia finally threatened, including a late opportunity that could have stolen all three points for the hosts. The goalkeeper ultimately preserved the shutout as Celta opened its league campaign with a point away from home. Radu was also booked in the 80th minute, but that was the only blemish on an otherwise steady performance. His two saves combined with the clean sheet made for a productive fantasy outing despite the relatively light workload. His next start is expected to come against Osasuna on Thursday.
Clean sheet during finale
Radu had two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Sevilla.
Analysis: Radu recorded a clean sheet during the final match of the season Sunday against Sevilla. He ends the season with 38 appearances made in league play, making 113 saves with 48 goals allowed while securing 10 clean sheets, a career high while also having the fifth most in La Liga.
Concedes one
Radu made eight saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Athletic. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 42nd minute.
Analysis: Radu recorded eight saves and one clearance. He has now accumulated 18 saves and two clearances over the last four games, conceding five goals in that span. Next, he faces Sevilla, who need at least a draw to guarantee safety from relegation.
Sees three go
Radu had three saves and allowed three goals in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat to Levante.
Analysis: Radu made three saves while conceding three goals during the loss to Levante. He's seen 22 goals go by in just the last 10 appearances, making 27 saves with a clean sheet in that span. The keeper will head to Athletic Club for the next game on Sunday, who have scored eight goals in the last five appearances.
Keeps clean sheet Saturday
Radu had four saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Radu kept his ninth clean sheet of the season Saturday, his first since Feb. 22. He made four saves for the 11th time this season, successfully keeping the Atleti attack at bay. He faces a more favorable matchup Tuesday versus Levante, a side which has scored 41 goals through 35 matches this season.
Three saves in win
Radu made three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Elche.
Analysis: Radu repelled three of four Elche shots on goal Sunday as Celta Vigo earned a resounding 3-1 home win. Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has made 12 saves and six clearances while conceding 10 goals. Radu's next challenge is likely to come Saturday when Celta Vigo travels for a difficult road test at Atletico Madrid.
Concedes twice in loss
Radu made two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Villarreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 29th minute.
Analysis: Radu conceded two goals Sunday, a penalty in the 2nd minute and then a Nicolas Pepe strike in the 29th. He has now conceded 12 goals over his last five contests and has made 11 saves over that stretch. Despite this poor run of form, he and his side are still very much in contention for a spot in Europe next season, but he will need to improve his play over the final five matches of the season. Next up he faces Elche on Sunday, a side which has scored 44 goals through 33 matches this season.
Concedes one
Radu made two saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Barcelona.
Analysis: Radu recorded two clearances but conceded a spot kick in the 40th minute. He has now accumulated 14 saves and six clearances across the last five games, conceding 11 times. Next, he takes on Villarreal, who have netted six times in the last four games.
