Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona They face off on Sunday
Jan Oblak and Marc-Andre ter Stegen have come a long way since arriving in Spain in the summer of 2014.
They emerged from Benfica and Borussia Monchengladbach to establish themselves as undisputed No.1s at Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Oblak eventually wrestled the starting spot in goal off Miguel Angel Moya, while Ter Stegen dislodged Claudio Bravo in the end.
Now they are considered the two best goalkeepers in LaLiga Santander and among the greatest in world football.
In a match that will include Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Antoine Griezmann, Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata, the two shot-stoppers could be the key players themselves as Atletico host Barcelona on Sunday.
Oblak and Ter Stegen meet on the pitch the day before the first Ballon d’Or for goalkeepers is given out on Monday.
Liverpool‘s Alisson, the favourite to win the award, will battle the pair to take the prize after claiming The Best Goalkeeper trophy in September.
