JanOblak, Atlético de Madrid's Slovenian goalkeeper, is on the path to expanding his legacy within the club and in the history of the League. With six Zamora Trophy titles already under his belt, the goalkeeper has started the season with a performance that places him as the second least beaten goalkeeper in LaLiga, with an average of 0.8 goals conceded per game.
The 34-year-old, who will celebrate his birthday in January and is expecting his first child, has shown his quality in the first ten games of the campaign. In the match against Deportivo, Oblak saved the team in the minute of stoppage time with a well-placed save, although the blue and white striker had sent the ball into the center of the goal. This performance added a fifth clean sheet to his record, consolidating his position as one of the defensive pillars of the colchonero team. The numbers back up their performance: eight goals conceded in ten games, including three in a single match against Athletic Bilbao at SanMamés, where Simeone's team suffered a series of failures in the second half.
In the Zamora Trophy standings, Oblak sits just behind Celta Vigo's IonutRadu, who has conceded just seven goals this season. Radu leads the ranking with a ratio of 0.7 goals per game, while Oblak maintains 0.8. Other notable goalkeepers include UnaiSimón and ThibautCourtois, both averaging one goal per game, and Villarreal's GáborGulácsi, who shares the same average with just six appearances. LeoRomán and ÁlvaroValles' goalkeepers appear below with averages of 1.30 and 1.40 respectively.
Oblak is already the goalkeeper with the most Zamora titles in LaLiga history, surpassing any other player in this area. His goal is to continue expanding his legend both in Atlético and in Spanish football. The club's future will largely depend on its ability to maintain a solid defense and the team's fight until the end of the season to secure the title.
