2. Gianluigi Buffon
Buffon was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world’s greatest living players in 2004.
He is the only goalkeeper to have won the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award, which he won after reaching the 2003 UEFA Champions League Final; he also won the award for best Goalkeeper that year.
The Italian has also been voted into the UEFA Team of the Year five times. Buffon was the runner-up for the Ballon d’Or in 2006 and has been elected part of the FIFPro World XI three times. He is the first goalkeeper ever to win the Golden Foot Award. Definitely, one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.
1. Oliver Kahn
Oliver Rolf Kahn, born 15 June 1969, was a German former football goalkeeper. In 1994, he signed a contract with Bayern Munich for the fee of DM4.6 million, where he played until the end of his career in 2008.
Oliver Kahn was an absolute colossus between the sticks for both Bayern Munich and Germany and probably the best keeper when confronted with a one-on-one situation with an opposition player.
The blond-haired, fiery No. 1 won everything there is to win in the club game while in Bavaria. The highlight of his career coming when his penalty-saving heroics in the shootout of the 2001 Champions League final against Valencia helped win Bayern their first European Cup for 25 years.
