Jan Oblak has been dealing with rumors in recent days, more or less, about his potential departure from Atletico Madrid at the end of the current season, but the 31-year-old, regarded as one of the best goalkeepers of the past decade, responded to all critics in the best possible way… by keeping a clean sheet in the away match against Mallorca.
The only goal of the match came as early as the 5th minute when Rodrigo Riquelme precisely struck from the edge of the penalty area, leaving Predrag Stojković with little chance. A lion’s share of the away victory was also contributed by the captain of the Slovenian national team, who showcased some exceptional saves, tallying four in total.
Ahead of Diego Simeone’s men are four remaining matches in the Spanish league, in which they will attempt to secure the fourth spot on the table, which guarantees direct entry to the Champions League next season. Additionally, their path to the elite club competition could be facilitated by their city rival, Real Madrid, should they clinch their fifteenth title.
