The 5 best goalkeepers in world soccer right now

Courtois proved a near-impenetrable force for Chelsea FC in the Premier League last season as he kept a clean sheet in 16 out of the 38 matches. He secured a high-profile transfer to Real Madrid CF and made 27 saves in an incredible World Cup for Belgium.

This save, to deny Brazil striker Neymar, was particularly impressive at the World Cup.

De Gea had an awesome season for Manchester United last year. He made his 100th overall clean sheet for the club in September 2017, made a record 14 Premier League saves in a single game against Arsenal in December, and won the coveted Golden Glove award by the end of the season.

While Cristiano Ronaldo hogged the headlines throughout Real Madrid's scintillating run to the Champions League title, Keylor Navas quietly went about his business even though he also played a crucial part in the club's success.

In the second leg of Real's semifinal against Bayern Munich, he made eight saves — the highest amount recorded in the knockout stage of the competition.

2017-2018 achievements: Supercopa de España, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Champions League. Navas also won the Champions League goalkeeper of the season award.

Ter Stegen helped preserve FC Barcelona's unbeaten start to the 2017-2018 La Liga season when he continually frustrated Atlético Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann in a 1-1 stalemate last year. Three months into the season he had saved 96% of the shots he had faced in all competitions.
