Another Madrid derby, the third in the last month, kicked off with a special milestone as Jan Oblak celebrated his 425th appearance in the Atletico jersey, equalling Isacio Callejo in the 6th position on the all-time appearance list. It’s worth noting that the captain of the Slovenian national team holds the record for the most appearances for Rojiblancos among foreign players.

Real Madrid took the initiative first, achieving it against Atletico for the first time this season. In the 20th minute, a series of unfortunate events in the away defense led to Brahim Diaz finding himself alone in front of Oblak. He took advantage of the gift and put his team in the lead. Atletico secured a point deep into injury time, with Marcos Llorente scoring the equalizer in the 93rd minute.
A controversial moment in the derby was Atletico’s disallowed goal, with Saul allegedly obstructing goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. The VAR room intervened after the goal, and the referees accepted the message, disallowing the goal. Jan Oblak was critical of the decision after the match.
“Lunin didn’t protest after conceding the goal because it was impossible to react to that ball or catch it. I don’t think Saul hindered him much. They could have ruled offside, for example. I hope that in such situations, the same will happen to me as it happened to Lunin. A point is better than nothing, but we didn’t come to Santiago Bernabeu for a draw; we came for a win,” said the Škofja Loka native after the derby.
