He won the award again in the next three seasons, and two more in 2021 and 2025 for a record six trophies. Oblak was also nominated for the 2017 and 2018 Ballon d'Or awards, following his consistent performances with his club.
With over 500 appearances for Atlético Madrid, Oblak has won four trophies with the club, including the 2020–21 edition of La Liga.
