Anatoliy Trubin net worth: The goalkeeper behind Benfica’s historic win over Real Madrid

The most memorable moment of the European football season was certainly Anatoliy Trubin's last-minute header that helped Benfica defeat Real Madrid 4-2 in the UEFA Champions League. The goal, netted deep into injury time, also stunned the Portuguese crowd before sending it into a frenzy, and instantly made news around the world. To score under such circumstances is rare for a goalkeeper, but to do it against Real Madrid on the biggest stage in Europe was the stuff of legend.

The 24-year-old Ukrainian had been excellent in goal throughout the match, making notable saves to keep Benfica in it up to that point. But it was the late goal that made the good performance legendary. Not only did it ensure Benfica reached the knockout phase, but the moment also came to represent a changing of the guard for Trubin, who has only recently become one of Europe’s top goalkeepers.

Anatoliy Trubin net worth and earnings at Benfica

Anatoliy Trubin has become an instant first-choice keeper upon moving from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2023 and is one of Benfica's most valuable assets at this moment. He arrived for a fee of around €10 million, which already looks like a bargain given how steady he has been and his rising stock.


Trubin's gross salary is rumored to be around €3.8 to €3.9 million per year, as of 2026. This sees him being one of the top earners at Benfica, certainly the highest for a player in his early twenties. It is believed his weekly wages are around €70,000, not including domestic success and European progression bonuses.

In terms of overall wealth, Trubin’s net worth is estimated to be in the multi-million euro range. Different sources calculate his net worth slightly differently, but due to his long-term contract, as well as the gradually increasing value of his market, and a likely lucrative future in endorsements, it can still be assumed that he is constantly growing financially. With his age and growing stature at the club and international level, he is estimated to be worth around €32 million to €35 million in the market now.

Why Trubin’s goal marks a defining moment in his career

Scoring against Real Madrid wasn't just a moment of drama; it was a statement of intent. At a Champions League level, it is rare for a goalkeeper to affect a match in such a direct and decisive way. His mental strength and resilience were just as evident in his composure, timing, and confidence under pressure as it was in his technical ability.

Trubin, who came through Shakhtar Donetsk's academy before moving to Portugal, has improved year on year. Aside from his showing against Madrid, he solidified his reputation as one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe while adding to Benfica's list of producing top talent.
