Oblak, Rojiblanco wall: Zamora and dream save
The Atlético de Madrid season has had its ups and downs, but the recovery of the best Jan Oblak is undoubtedly one of the brightest spots. The Slovenian has been awarded the 2024-2025 Zamora Trophy, demonstrating his solidity between the posts and confirming himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
With an average of 0.83 goals conceded per game, a total of 30 goals in 36 matches, Oblak won his sixth Zamora, surpassing legends like Valdés and Ramallets. But Oblak’s greatness is not limited to statistics.
His spectacular performance has also earned him the ‘Best Save of the Season’ award given by LaLiga. The awarded play took place in the match against Real Sociedad in Anoeta, where Oblak made a miraculous double intervention that left everyone speechless.
First, he corrected a header from Zubimendi with feline agility. Then, he demonstrated his reflexes to clear a close-range shot from Aguerd. That night in Anoeta, Oblak made other meritorious interventions, such as a great save from Kubo.
Although he could not avoid Sucic’s great goal, his overall performance was key for Atlético. Without a doubt, Oblak remains a fundamental pillar of the team, a life insurance in the goal and an idol for the Rojiblanca fans.
