Jan Oblak has written his name into Atlético folklore and in doing so has joined an elite group of the club's keepers. The Slovenian has kept nine clean sheets in his first thirteen league appearances since joining the club. Only Francisco Molina can boast similar stats in his first thirteen league matches.

Another of the club's goalkeeping legends who had a great start to his Atlético career is Germán Burgos. The club's assistant coach managed to keep six clean sheets over the same number of games. Others who also kicked off their Atleti careers well include Thibaut Courtois, Leo Franco and Marcel Domingo, who managed five clean sheets each.

Atlético do have a very solid defence, but Oblak's stand-out performances are there for all to see. In the eleven games he featured in last season, he was called into action 51 times, making 22 saves, 23 clearances and conceding just six goals.

Plus, with Oblak in the starting XI, Atlético have won eight league games, drawn four and lost just one. So far this season, his crucial saves have helped Atlético take six points from their first two La Liga fixtures.
