1. Including a clean sheet kept in the week 1 against Udinese. He was sent-off in 57th minute while the match was 1–0 for Inter. The match eventually ended 1–1.
2. Paolo Orlandoni kept a clean sheet on the same match as Júlio César. They both appeared in the 0–0 home away versus Palermo on 28 October 2007. So both clean sheets are counted.
