Top 5 goalkeepers in the world right now

Club Atletico de Madrid v Juventus - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg

For Atletico Madrid, keeping clean sheets is often considered second nature. A strong defensive unit kept stronger yet by the presence of Slovenian stopper Jan Oblak, the Rojiblancos are considered the toughest defense to breakdown in Europe. Statistically Oblak himself is a bit of a monster.

Consistently averaging between 0.45 to 0.70 goals allowed per game and with save percentages consistently in the high 70% region, Oblak's shot-stopping abilities are virtually unparalleled in world football at the moment.

Many will argue that his clean sheet statistic is bolstered by the strength and quality of a widely lauded Atleti backline but with most of the old guard gone, Oblak has carried on from where he left off last season and continues to enhance his growing reputation.

A man who likes to keep it simple and not do anything too flashy with the ball at his feet, Oblak has been overlooked for the Ballon d'Or this season. Yet, ask just about any manager in the world about the keeper they'd like in goal if their life depended on it, the Slovenian would feature heavily as first choice on many such lists.

As he continues to rack up clean sheets (7 in 10 games in LaLiga this season too), here's to Oblak staying on this list for many more years to come.
