In this article, 2hanBall will walk you through the top 5 best goalkeepers La Liga 2025 — the shot-stoppers whose reflexes, leadership and stats made all the difference. When debating the best keepers, it’s about more than clean sheets — it’s about consistency, save percentage, goals-conceded average, and how many times they stood tall when their team needed them. Below are the five goalkeepers who stood out in the 2024-25 La Liga season, with their key numbers and defining moments.
What makes a goalkeeper “the best” in La Liga
Before listing them, here are the metrics that separated the great from the good in 2024-25:
- Clean sheets — how many matches they kept the opponents.
- Goals conceded per game (or per 90 mins) — low averages show strong positioning, command of the box, teamwork with the defense.
- Save percentage & total saves — shows shot-stopping ability.
- Impact in big games — performances vs top clubs, in tight matches, and consistency across the season.
- Awards & recognition — like the Zamora Trophy.

Here are the goalkeepers who excelled in those metrics — ranked by their overall performance in the 2024-25 season.

2. Álex Remiro (Real Sociedad)
- Clean sheets: 13 in the 2024-25 season.
- Goals conceded per game: About 1.18 based on his 43 goals conceded over 36 games. Not as low as Oblak, but given the defensive solidity of Sociedad, his performance stands out.
