Is Oblak the best keeper in Atletico Madrid history?

It is always difficult to evaluate a goalkeeper's contributions, but Jan Oblak has quietly been making his case as the greatest to play between the sticks in Atletico Madrid club history, if the statistics are anything to go by at least.

Conceding just 45 goals in 80 matches, at a rate of 0.6, that is an even better mark than Miguel Angel Moya and Thibaut Courtois.

This season the Slovenian has only conceded twice, once to Alaves in the dying minutes of Atleti's first game of the season and once at the Camp Nou.

Oblak also holds the club record for the best ratio of clean sheets to matches played, with opponents held scoreless 49 times out of 80 matches (61%).

Diego Simeone's defensive system is a big reason Oblak's statistics are so impressive, and the fact that Moya and Courtois also fare so well on the list of historic keepers at the club goes to show the Argentine boss' overall influence.

Nonetheless, Oblak also thrived at his former club Benfica, where he kept 21 clean sheets in 26 matches (80%).
