Jan Oblak has claimed La Liga's Save of the Season award for 2024/25, recognizing his spectacular double save during "Atletico Madrid's" 1-1 draw against "Real Sociedad". The Slovenian goalkeeper's remarkable reflexes in that crucial ninth-round match impressed both fans and football experts alike.
"These are the moments you train for every day," Oblak might say about his award-winning double save that kept his team in the game when it mattered most.
The official announcement came through La Liga's press service, which highlighted the exceptional nature of Oblak's goalkeeping heroics. His lightning-quick reactions allowed him to make consecutive saves in what became one of the defining moments of the Spanish top flight this season.
Interestingly, according to Statbet analysis, Oblak's double save against "Real Sociedad" significantly improved "Atletico's" expected points for that fixture, showcasing just how valuable elite goalkeeping can be in tight contests.
The 2024/25 campaign has been solid for the Slovenian shot-stopper, who appeared in 46 matches across all competitions for "Atletico Madrid". During these appearances, he conceded 44 goals while keeping an impressive 17 clean sheets - not bad for a goalkeeper playing behind a defense that faced numerous challenges throughout the season.
Will this recognition help cement Oblak's legacy as one of the greatest goalkeepers in "Atletico's" history? The numbers certainly speak for themselves.
