Ever since his unveiling at the Wanda Metropolitano in 2014, Jan Oblak has showcased some of the most spectacular displays La Liga has ever seen. His consistent performances have seen him win numerous awards, including the Ricardo Zamora trophy five times. The star notably conceded just 18 league goals in the 2015-16 season, equalling an all-time record low in La Liga history.

Oblak was on hand to kick Liverpool out of the Champions League last season as well. He made an astonishing nine saves, forcing the Reds into defeat.

His late penalty save that earned Atletico Madrid a vital three points against Alaves last season also guided them to a win in the league. The star has made spectacular saves, and many of them have been just as important as they were beautiful.


#2 Ederson | Manchester City

The Brazilian has made many spectacular saves en route to winning three Premier League titles since 2017, as well as an extra seven trophies to boot. Ederson joined Manchester City from Benfica four years ago and quickly became Pep Guardiola's mainstay between the sticks.

The star also notably became the first Manchester City goalkeeper in the club's history to provide an assist during a league game.

Last season, Ederson won the Golden Glove award for keeping the most clean sheets in the Premier League (19). He's already picked up seven clean sheets in 11 appearances this season, and could easily supplant his previous record of 19.

His key saves often come late in the game when City need to hold on for a few more minutes to pick up all three points. Many of those saves have been spectacular as well.


#1 Manuel Neuer | Bayern Munich

A major part of Bayern Munich's dominance of Germany over the last decade has been Robert Lewandowski's goals and Manuel Neuer's saves. Arguably the best goalkeeper in the world, the German maestro has made countless spectacular saves, guiding Bayern to 26 trophies. The star also aided Germany's World Cup run that saw Die Roten win the coveted trophy in 2014.

Neuer is extremely popular for his sweeper role in Bayern Munich's high-octane style of attack. His brilliant saves have been key to their continental and domestic success.

His spectacular double saves and cat-like reflexes notably saw the star beat Oliver Kahn's Bundesliga record of 11 clean sheets in a row. Neuer's brilliant saves are countless, and the 35-year-old is one of the best goalkeepers of all time.
