Fernando Muslera Lifts 25th Trophy with Argentine Super Cup Win
Fernando Muslera wins the Argentine Super Cup with Estudiantes for his 25th career trophy, and the Uruguayan keeper will retire after the Libertadores final.
Fernando Muslera has added yet another piece of silverware to an already remarkable collection. The veteran Uruguayan goalkeeper won the Argentine Super Cup, bringing his career trophy count to 25.
Best known for his long spell between the posts at Turkish giants Galatasaray, where he became a club icon, Muslera is now playing for Estudiantes in Argentina and continues to prove that his appetite for winning has not faded.
Copa Libertadores final to be his last game
The bigger headline, however, concerns his future. Muslera is set to line up for Estudiantes in the Copa Libertadores final, South America's most prestigious club competition, later this month, and he will bring the curtain down on his playing career once that match is over.
That means the continental showpiece will be the final appearance for the former Uruguay national team goalkeeper, with the chance to sign off with a 26th trophy.
A rare haul for a goalkeeper
Reaching 25 titles is an exceptional achievement for any player, let alone a goalkeeper, and it underlines how central Muslera has been to the success of the teams he has represented. Estudiantes supporters, along with fans of his old clubs, will be hoping he can end his career by lifting South America's biggest club prize.
