Jan Oblak will be present in Sunday’s El Clasico—albeit virtually. The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is no ordinary El Clasico for Atletico Madrid’s Slovenian goalkeeper.

A few hours before El Clasico, Oblak and Atletico must face Real Sociedad at the Metropolitano to secure their Champions League qualification. However, this match and the subsequent Real Madrid vs. Barcelona clash hold extraordinary significance for Oblak. The results could propel him to a historic milestone.

Oblak could win the Zamora Trophy for the sixth time, an award given annually to La Liga’s best goalkeeper. Achieving this would make him a La Liga legend, the only goalkeeper in the competition’s history to reach this record.

Barcelona could ease Oblak’s Zamora Trophy worries in El Clasico. With four games remaining in La Liga, a strong Barcelona performance could widen Oblak’s lead over Courtois, securing the award.

Oblak has good reason to hope for Barcelona’s success. Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona has scored 12 goals in three matches against Real Madrid this season—an average of four per game.

If Barcelona maintains this scoring rate in Sunday’s El Clasico, Oblak’s Zamora Trophy hopes will be secured.

Oblak currently leads La Liga’s goalkeeper rankings with an average of 0.82 goals conceded per game (27 goals in 33 matches). Courtois, after conceding two goals against Celta Vigo, now averages 0.86 goals per game (24 goals in 28 matches). A few more goals conceded against Barcelona would widen the gap, ensuring Oblak’s lead until the season’s end.
