Top 10 Goalkeepers in Football during the 2017-18 Season

Honourable Mentions

Real Madrid CF v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Second Leg

Before we move on to our top 3, here's a hat-tip to those goalkeepers who narrowly missed out on this list.

Manuel Neuer - Bayern Munich

Now now, I can hear your blood boiling with the exclusion of Neuer, but the truth is that the German only played 3 months of 2017 - and thus cannot truly be considered. Had Neuer played the entire year, there would be no doubt that he would be challenging for the top spots. The German who changed the definition of a top goalkeeper will be hungry to reclaim his crown as the best, and you wouldn't bet against him.

Neto - Valencia

Having been backup to Gigi Buffon in the last few seasons, not much was made about Neto's move to Valencia, but the Brazilian has been in such stellar form that Los Che have made a decent fist of an early-season title challenge. Keep the trend going, and Neto could soon be considered as one of the best.

Alberto Brignoli - Benevento

Brignoli isn't really in this list for his feats as a goalkeeper. The Benevento custodian is simply in this list for providing us with the best moment involving a goalkeeper all season. A team that had suffered multiple last-minute heartbreaking losses - not earning a single point all season. Gennaro Gattuso's first game as AC Milan manager, and up pops Brignoli in the final minute to score an equalizing goal. Dreamland.
