Ranking the 10 best goalkeepers in the world

Spain v Switzerland - International Friendly
Spain have two of the top goalkeepers in the world available to them

#2 Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)

Olympique de Marseille v Club Atletico de Madrid - UEFA Europa League Final
Oblak has become a world-class 'keeper at Atletico

There is no real explanation for Oblak being talked about less than some of the other goalkeepers on this list because he is undoubtedly a world-class ‘keeper. He may not be as good with his feet as some of his peers, but he has won the La Liga Zamora Trophy for best goalkeeper in the division in each of the last three seasons, so he must be doing something right.

He is part of one of the best backlines in world football, and although he may not have won as many major honours as he may have wanted at this stage in his career, he is still only 25, so time is most certainly on his side. It seems remarkable that Atletico paid Benfica just £14 million to sign Oblak in 2014, and he is worth at least five times that now.
