Péter Gulácsi

Analysis: Gulacsi made four saves in Tuesday's 3-2 Champions League home defeat to Dortmund, coming up big against Serhou Guirassy after the striker rounded him in the 45th minute before twice denying Fabio Silva in the 76th and 83rd minutes as BVB flipped the game on its head. He was beaten by Mateus Veiga's own goal in the 54th minute, Guirassy's composed tap-in off Silva's assist in the 80th and the striker's penalty in the 85th after Santiago Mourino brought him down in the box. Gulacsi and Villarreal head back to Spain empty-handed after their Champions League group opener, though the Hungarian has now cemented his status as the club's starting goalkeeper in Europe.

Joins Villarreal

Gulacsi has completed a transfer to Villarreal from Leipzig, according to his new club.

Analysis: Gulacsi is on the move as he leaves his post in Leipzig after multiple years served in Germany, switching to Spain as he joins Villarreal on a two-year deal. The goalie spent 11 years with Villarreal before his exit, recording 117 clean sheets across an amazing 363 matches with the team. This will leave Maarten Vandevoordt as the No. 1 in net for Leipzig, as Gulacsi takes over the main role in net for Villarreal.
