Oblak, second best goalkeeper in the world in 2020 for IFFHS

Jan Oblak has been the second best goalkeeper in the world in 2020. This is what he says the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), which placed the Atlético goalkeeper as the second in the table only surpassed by a regular Manuel Neuer who raised the Champions League and the Bundesliga as captain of Bayern.

The German goalkeeper thus made his fifth individual distinction of the IFFHS (2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016) to become the third goalkeeper to do so after Iker Casillas (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012) and Gianluigi Buffon (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2017). This year there was no room for doubt, where Neuer's ability to lift titles as a key piece in the Bayern steamroller led him to reach the 320 points in the ranking best goalkeeper.

However, Oblak was the first of the mortals and with 40 points he beat Alisson (30), Courtois (15) and Ter Stegen (10) despite the fact that Atlético could not compete to lift any trophies and the Slovenian could not reach his fifth Zamora, something he is heading towards at cruising speed at this start of the campaign where He has only conceded two goals in the ten days that the rojiblanco team has played.

Oblak has left in this year 2020 memorable performances, like Anfield to end up eliminating Liverpool from the Champions League And for many, he is the best goalkeeper in the world today due to his qualities under sticks and the security he provides to Atlético and its national team, where it will always be more difficult to fight for titles. To their 27 years, reaches for the first time podium of the IFFHS and he promises to continue to fight until he wins the prestigious award.
