One of the key members of Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side, Jan Oblak has been one of the best goalkeepers in Europe over the last few years. Ever since his move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid in 2014, he not only replaced Thibaut Courtois, but has also played a key role in Atleti's great run in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League.
He was the best goalkeeper in the 2016/17 La Liga season, allowing only 27 goals, helping Atletico Madrid to a top-3 finish in the Spanish league. He possesses lightning-quick reflexes and has made some unbelievable saves in La Liga and the Champions League for Atletico Madrid.
At only 24, Oblak has shown the grit and temperament of a seasoned campaigner and is named in the 30-man shortlist for this year's Ballon d'Or. He faces a tough challenge from some of the other names on the list, but will definitely a deserving winner, if he does indeed win it.
