Goaltending will be a major factor in this match with both sides boasting goalies that have played a huge role in getting the teams this far. Jan Oblak is arguably in better form than any other goalie in the world whileKeylor Navas were the major differences in the semifinal for Real Madrid.


Which side has the edge in the match?


The Slovenian goalie has been making history all year along, putting up 23 clean sheets in LaLiga and providing the major difference in the Champions League semifinal againstBayern Munich. He made a huge save on the penalty shot in the first half that ultimately proved to be the difference and added a few huge saves as the German contingent dominated the game from the outset.


Oblak took over the starting job this season and has been absolutely dominant thanks to his tremendous reading and position of the game unfolding in front of him. He is a very well-rounded goalie overall that succeeds in all aspects of the game.
