Last season, a few goalkeepers proved their worth to their teams with impressive saves, outstanding defense organization, and the creation of numerous chances for their teams.
5. Eintracht Frankfurt's Kevin Trapp
Last season, Kevin Trapp was a key player for Eintracht Frankfurt. He assisted in the organization of his team's defense, made impressive saves, and rushed out of his line when necessary.
Trapp made two game-changing saves to help Eintracht Frankfurt win the Europa League and also stopped Aaron Ramsey's penalty to give Eintracht Frankfurt the trophy.
Trapp also made 112 saves in 32 Bundesliga games while keeping five clean sheets. He had a save percentage of 72.9, which was among the best in the division.
4. Manchester City's Ederson Moraes
Last season, Ederson Moraes led Manchester City to the English Premier League title. He also assisted Manchester City in reaching the Champions League semi-finals.
Ederson Moraes is one of the best ball-playing goalkeepers in the world, and he has had tremendous success in England since joining Manchester City in 2017, winning 11 trophies.
Ederson completed his hat-trick last season after winning the Premier League Golden Glove award in each of the previous two seasons (2019-20, 2020-21).
The 28-year-old goalkeeper recorded 20 clean sheets and made 60 saves. He also had 17 high claims and 19 times rushed off his lines.
3. AC Milan's Mike Maignan
When AC Milan signed Mike Maignan, few realized they had pulled off a coup. The French goalkeeper was always dependable, and his presence at the back gave the Italian club the platform they needed to finally end their 11-year Serie A title drought in the 2021-22 season.
Maignan had 17 clean sheets and an 81.2 percent save percentage in the 2021-22 Serie A season (81 saves). For his heroics, he deservedly won the Serie A Golden Glove.
2. Liverpool's Alisson Becker
Liverpool's signing of Alisson Becker from AS Roma was one of the watershed moments in the club's resurgence in world football.
With Liverpool, he won the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup before finishing second in the English Premier League and reaching the Champions League final, where he kept four clean sheets.
Alisson, who has won one Premier League title and one Champions League trophy with Liverpool, was named co-winner of the Premier League Golden Glove award for the 2021-22 season. He had the same number of clean sheets (76 saves) as Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson in the English Premier League.
Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois is ranked first.
Thibaut Courtois established himself as the best goalkeeper in the world when he single-handedly kept Real Madrid in the Champions League final with a series of world-class saves.
He helped the Spanish La Liga team win both the Spanish La Liga and the Champions League, making a total of 56 saves in 13 Champions League games.
The 30-year-old made nine saves in the final against Liverpool, winning Man of the Match and becoming the first goalkeeper in Champions League history to do so.
