Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak does not always receive the praise that he deserves on an international stage, yet L'Equipe have named the Slovenian the best goalkeeper in the world for 2018.
Oblak has been left off The Best awards and out of the FIFPro XI, for instance, as more fashionable goalkeepers have got the nod.
Back in his home nation of Slovenia, the 25-year-old has been named the Slovenian Footballer of the Year for the fourth year in a row.
Needless to say, Oblak is an idol back in Slovenia and after missing his country's two last international fixtures, in order to preserve his physical condition, he will play in the next international break.
L'Equipe's award, in addition to his Slovenian Footballer of the Year trophy, will join a collection that already boasts three Zamora trophies, along with the Best Goalkeeper award in Portugal during the 2013/14 season when he played for Benfica.
If Oblak is able to win the Zamora trophy once again, for the fourth year in a row, he will equal Juan Acuna and Santiago Canizares, and will only be one behind the joint-leaders, Victor Valdes and Antoni Ramallets.

Well u know he deserved it He is perhaps the Best Goal keeper Now I am not including Ter Stegen or De gea in the top position because of the mistakes they make but everyone knows that These three are the best ! Oblak is just more consistent People giving excuses of him being saved by Atletico Defence should understand that Atletico don't play possession..they like to give possession to opponents which results in even more number of shots on their goal than any other team..also his saves are jaw dropping like saves from stegen or De gea..

The most underated goal keeper in the world (perhaps history). Better than Alisson and De gea but always underrated THE WALL
