Jan Oblak wrote history since Wednesday, advancing with his teammates to the quarterfinals of the most prestigious club competition in the world and adding the title of the best player of the Champions League this week.
The performance of the captain of the Slovenian national team in the return match against Inter Milan did not go unnoticed by the fans, who rewarded the 31-year-old with the mentioned title in an online vote. Also participating in the vote were Jadon Sancho, David Raya, and Pau Cubarsi. The latter garnered the most public attention, as he is only seventeen years old.
In addition, Oblak achieved another milestone, which he shares with Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Rayo, as they are the only goalkeepers in the last twelve years to have stopped more than one shot in the biggest club stage when the winner was decided by penalties.
🧤 David Raya and Jan Oblak are the only goalkeepers to make multiple saves in a single UEFA Champions League shootout over the last 12 seasons.
