La Liga Clean Sheets for the 2024/25 season- top Goalkeepers in Golden Glove race after GW-9

In modern-day football, the role of Goalkeepers has become quite popular among the fans with plenty of limelight now focussed on them and their job as the last man in the defence. They prevent the opposition from scoring goals through diving saves, and punches outs and also help in build-up play and ball distribution with their precise long-range passing.

It is one of the toughest positions to excel in the game and over the years many shot-stoppers have proven their credential in the top leagues such as the Spanish top-tier league La Liga in past and as well as in present. Some of the best shot-stoppers are currently gracing the league with their presence in between the sticks.

The La Liga 2024-25 season is underway with the match week 9 proceedings being already completed earlier this month, ahead of the October International break. Several top clubs have resoundingly begun their campaign and we are assembling the top five goalkeepers boasting the most La Liga clean sheets after the game week nine fixtures as the dash to the Zamora trophy (La Liga Golden Glove) is heating up.

Rank	Player	Club	Clean sheets
1	Jan Oblak	Atletico Madrid	4
2	Alex Remiro	Real Sociedad	4
3	Thibaut Courtois	Real Madrid	3
4	Ørjan Nyland	Sevilla FC	3
5	Giorgi Mamardashvili	CF Valencia	3

1. Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)

The Atletico Madrid starman Jan Oblak has the most La Liga clean sheets in the 2024-25 campaign leading the race for the Zamora Trophy (Golden Glove accolade) in the league. Last season, he had 13 league clean sheets in a total of 38 appearances, starting all of the league games for Los Rojiblancos and helping his side to secure the top-four finish to qualify for the UEFA Champions League league stage. Oblak has kicked off this season in a similar fashion and has also recorded 4 clean sheets in just 8 matches while making 24 saves.

2. Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad)

Last season’s runner of Zamora accolade Alex Remiro is second on the list of most La Liga cleans sheet accumulating four clean sheets. He has kept the scorers from netting a goal in four outings equal to Jan Oblak however, he has clocked more minutes playing 9 matches which makes him second. Remiro had missed the Golden Glove title with a slight margin of two cleans sheets up against Unai Simon who had 18 cleans sheets while Real Sociedad custodian had 16 to his account. The duo together won the European Championship 2024 for Spain this summer.

3. Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid)

The Belgian wall spent the entire season on the sidelines due to injury. Leaving the dismay of last year behind, Thibaut Courtois is off to a flying start maintaining three clean sheets in 8 league starts clocking 720′ minutes of playing time in the 2024-25 season so far. The 32-year-old, unfortunately, suffered an adductor injury in the left leg ahead of the Los Blancos clash against Villarreal and is doubtful to feature in the upcoming fixtures as well. Courtois has been quite influential with his presence in between the sticks this campaign to stay at the top of the league table.

4. Ørjan Nyland (Sevilla FC)

Sevilla keeper Ørjan Nyland secured the fourth spot on the list, the Norway International has registered three clean sheets and pulled off 28 saves in La Liga for his club. Nyland has already stockpiled half of his total clean sheets record of six from last season in 24 appearances in the 2023-24 campaign, guiding Sevilla to a midtable finish. The 34-year-old had three clean sheets of the season against RCD Mallorca, Getafe and the city rivals Real Betis in a 1-0 Seville derby triumph. Following the derby win, they are currently standing in the 12th position in La Liga points table.

The Georgian International finished fourth place in La Liga’s Golden Glove accolade pursuit behind the likes of Unai Simon, Alex Remiro and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen with 13 clean sheets on his account playing 37 league games for Valencia and steered his club to an impressive 9th place finish. Meanwhile, this season, Giorgi Mamardashvili has started all the La Liga matches and managed to restrict the opposition goalless in three outings, however, conceded 10 goals in 6 games something he would need to improve on to compete for most clean sheets. As of now, Valencia is among the bottom three teams in the relegation spot after 9 games.
