Manchester City FC v AS Monaco - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg
Monaco's Danijel Subasic is one of the most underrated goalkeepers at the moment

#3 Danijel Subasic (AS Monaco)

Croatia v Greece - FIFA 2018 World Cup Qualifier Play-Off: First Leg
Croatia's Subasic was the best keeper in Ligue 1 last season

An excellent keeper, Subasic has been Monaco's No 1 since their struggles in Ligue 2 He joined the club from Hadjuk Split in 2012 having played for the Croatian side in 77 games. He began his career in Croatia where he came through the youth ranks of Zadar, who he served for 6 years.

Subasic became an integral member of the Monaco side that gained promotion and been a rock at the back allowing Monaco to have a cavalier attitude in attack.

While Monaco gained many plaudits for their all-out attacking style that saw the rise of players like Kylian Mbappe and the revival of Radamel Falcao, it was the quiet confidence of Subasic that created a solid base for them to build upon.

Subasic was awarded the award for Best Keeper in Ligue 1 last season but has been quite classy for the principality side since his arrival. The award had been long time coming for the Croatian who had done very well in the last two seasons as Monaco finished third and second.

In 2014-15, he managed 842 minutes consecutively without conceding a single goal and has appeared for Monaco in 203 league games so far. It is a shame that not many outside France recognize the brilliance of the Croatian number 1.

Subasic is also Croatia's number 1, and has kept his place in the side as an important member of the squad. At 33, he still has more than a few years left in him and maybe Monaco's success will get him more fame.
