That would be Fabien Alain Barthez, who played for Toulouse FC, AS Monaco, Manchester United and Olympique de Marseille. He was awarded the Lev Yashin Award in 1998 when he conceded only two goals in 7 games (including a clean slate in the finals against favored Brazil 3-0), en route to France's victory in the World Cup.
It must also be noted that he also shut out Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and the vaunted Brazilian offense when both teams met in the recently concluded World Cup in Germany

Fabien Barthez (Marseille) is still believing by the coach to save the goal but this lately (and a lot of pressurre...) that Gregory Coupet (Lyon) much more deserve for that postion...
They think that Barthez is way too old and he more often make un-important blunder...so, they choose Coupet for that position.
in my opinion...both of them are good goalkeeper but maybe i should say yes of Barthez should replace (he's amazing but his golden-period is over...)
