Oblak positions himself to grow his legend

Oblak is second in La Liga's Zamora Trophy race with 0.8 goals conceded per game, chasing a record seventh award.

Jan Oblak is among Atlético Madrid's standout performers this season. The 33-year-old Slovenian goalkeeper has started the campaign in outstanding form, recording five clean sheets in ten league matches.

Oblak made another crucial save in Saturday's match against Deportivo, diving to deny a late chance. Statistically, he is second in La Liga's goals-against rankings, having conceded eight goals in ten games—three of them in a single match at San Mamés against Athletic Bilbao during a difficult second-half spell for Diego Simeone's side.

Only Celta Vigo's Ionut Radu has conceded fewer, with seven goals in his appearances. Radu leads the Zamora Trophy race with a 0.7 goals-per-game ratio, while Oblak sits second at 0.8. Unai Simón and Thibaut Courtois are level on 1.0 per game but have played one fewer match. Oblak has won the Zamora Trophy six times—more than any other goalkeeper in La Liga history—and is well positioned to claim a record seventh award.
