Jan Oblak and his Atletico had the honor of playing the final match of the Spanish La Liga in 2023, as they faced Sevilla in a rescheduled game from the 4th round, which was won with a minimal difference by Diego Simeone’s squad.
In the first half at the Metropolitano, the Spanish capital’s stadium, there were no goals, but the fans got their share right at the start of the second half when Marcos Llorente struck a rebound into the visiting team’s net, leading the home team to take the lead. There were no further changes to the score until the end of the match. However, Oblak and his teammates finished the game with a player less for the second consecutive time, as in the 70th minute, substitute Caglar Soyuncu was sent off prematurely after a rough foul, spending only four minutes on the field.
The captain of the Slovenian national team kept a clean sheet in the Spanish league for the first time in about a month and added two remarkable saves to his performance. Rojiblancos ended the calendar year in third place in the Spanish league and remain the only team to have defeated city rivals Real in this season.
