Strangely, determining which goalkeepers are the best in the game is one of the most difficult decisions. Nowadays, distribution, the capacity to clean up behind an advanced line, and extraordinary levels of composure are essential components of every keeper's game; it's not only about stopping shots.

1. Thibaut Courtois

Thibaut Courtois has been in outstanding form to dispel any leftover doubts about his skills following a difficult start at Real Madrid. In addition to winning the Zamora Trophy in 2020, Courtois' long limbs and superb goal-stopping skills have saved Los Blancos on a number of occasions in recent seasons, including the 2022 Champions League final. Despite Lunin's outstanding performances in his place, Carlo Ancelotti didn't hesitate to bring Courtois into the fold right away after the Belgian missed a significant portion of 2023–24 due to an ACL tear. Madrid won their 15th European championship with Courtois keeping a clean sheet.

2. Alisson becker

When Liverpool paid around £70 million for Alisson in 2018, rival supporters were teasing Liverpool on social media about how much that was. But now they're not giggling. With his ability to seamlessly blend the skills of a traditional stopper and a sweeper-keeper, the Brazilian has been a game-changing addition to Anfield. Additionally, he contributed to Liverpool's recent success as Premier League, European, and world champions.

3. Ederson 

Because of Ederson's technical skill, everyone believed Pep Guardiola when he made a playful comment about his being Manchester City's best penalty taker. The Brazilian excelled in the Champions League in 2022–2023 as City won the competition for the first time ever thanks to his valiant saves against Real Madrid and Inter. Although he isn't a one-on-one expert, his shape has been steady for a while, and his remarkable distribution continues to astound.

4.Emiliano Martinez

Emiliano Martinez has had quite the journey. After spending a few month in the spotlight at Arsenal, the Argentinian moved to Aston Villa and has since shown that he is incredibly talented. So good, in fact, that he has risen to the top of the Argentina rankings, contributed significantly to their World Cup and Copa America victories, and gained the respect of Lionel Messi with his s***house antics. He has now won the Yashin Trophy twice. Not terrible, is it?

5.Mike Maignan

Many will contend that the Rossoneri improved upon the once-adored Italian, but Milan had a significant goalkeeper-shaped need to fill when Donnarumma left. Milan won the 2021/22 Scudetto after a strong defensive display, therefore Maignan's influence at San Siro was seen right away. The France international's reputation has grown globally as a result of his widespread recognition as Serie A's top goalkeeper. Even though Chevalier will be his opponent on the international scene in the future, he is still by far the best goalkeeper for Les Bleus.

6. Andre onana 

Andre Onana had a difficult year due to a drug ban, but he soon outperformed Samir Handanovic at Inter and rose to become one of the top goalies in the world. Although he deserved to join Manchester United, the Cameroonian had a difficult time adjusting, and his high-profile errors hurt his reputation. However, Onana is now settling in, making some excellent reflex saves and mostly avoiding mistakes.

7.Manuel Neuer 

Manuel Neuer, who is still regarded as one of the greatest sweeper-keepers in the world, was instrumental in the reimagining of the modern goalkeeper. He only has a few years remaining, and he missed most of 2023–2024 and the end of the 2022–2023 season due to a skiing injury. He is still among the greatest available for the time being, even if it is obvious that his abilities will only diminish from this point rather than increase.

8. Jan oblak 

There are moments when you may honestly think that Jan Oblak, the five-time Zamora Trophy winner, has the ability to draw the ball to his hands. His gloves seem to have a gravitational pull of their own. He did have a slight slump in performance a few seasons ago, but he is now back to his best and is still flourishing under Diego Simeone's guidance.

9. Gregor kopel 

Sommer's presence has obstructed Gregor Kobel's route to the Switzerland starting lineup, but if he keeps up his impressive play at Borussia Dortmund, the shirt will soon belong to him. After honing his abilities at Augsburg and Stuttgart, the BVB standout had cat-like reflexes and was instrumental in his team's march to the 2023–24 Champions League final.

10. David Raya 

David Raya became one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and Arsenal signed him from Brentford because of his ability to create plays at the back. At the Emirates Stadium, the Spain international replaced Aaron Ramsdale. Although he made mistakes in his early years in north London, Raya relied on the valor of a strong defense to win the 2023–24 Premier League Golden Glove. Raya has emerged as one of the Gunners' most impressive players and has frequently saved Mikel Arteta's bacon. He has made significant progress in a short period of time and is currently among the finest in the world.
