Amazing for Zubikarai to be part of.

A more detailed story about it here:

http://www.aucklandcityfc.com/news/1308/12/Lionel-Messis-gift-for-Zubikarai-/

Keep going down past where the article ends for some interesting information on "Eñaut Zubikarai - Factfile"
Some high-profile games  he was part of.

He was mainly back-up to famous Chilean goalie Claudio Bravo and Antoine Griezmann was also a team mate, both going on to sign for Barcelona.

Someone has updated Zubikarai's Wikipedia page with some interesting information I wasn't aware of, on his standing in international records for longest runs with a clean sheet:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E%C3%B1aut_Zubikarai

"As part of a stellar defense which saw the team only allow 12 goals during the 2017–18 season as they won the New Zealand Football Championship title, he went 1,404 minutes or 15 games without conceding a goal in all competitions, beginning in the 70th minute of a 1–1 home draw against Southern United FC on 13 January 2018 and ending in the 37th minute of a 2–2 draw to Team Wellington on 29 April in the semi-finals of the OFC Champions League. This exploit constituted the third-longest streak of its kind of all time – behind Mazarópi and Thabet El-Batal – as well as the longest of the 21st century, and of any European goalkeeper."
