There are times when when you see everything lost, you understand that you have no choice but to call out in search of the impossible. It was not the case yesterday of the Real and, nevertheless, Jan
Oblak he had no margin to be calm. The txuri urdin team forced the Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper to save his team in a very strange development match, in which the maximum aspiring champion almost never seemed to let go of the government of the same and in which nevertheless he suffered until the end to tie up an almost decisive triumph.
La Real returned to the concentration hotel yesterday ruminating on his fate. Thinking that there were many afternoons, especially in these big stages, in which producing much less, it took more. La Real had five resounding occasions. One ended with the ball crashed into the post, another in the net of Oblak riveted by Zubeldia and in the other three, the imposing figure of the Slovenian goalkeeper emerged, who to beat once is already a small feat and to whom scoring two goals belongs to the realm of science fiction. His two covered, extraordinary reflections, to the lashes of Isak in the first half, especially the second shot, they were brutal. His mitten to For your in the second half, holding on without defeating a ball that had bounced on the ground and went straight to the squad, he belonged to that record in which he only lives Oblak. Precisely because of how internalized the forwards have the difficulty of scoring a goal, it is possible that For your over-adjusted the shot that went to the post. To be able to celebrate goal Zubeldia He had to shoot him, a couple of meters away, and with the goalkeeper on the ground.
Atlético justified their suffering in their lack of efficiency against Remiro, but in the second half, three occasions are not as clear as those that Real had. The mystery of the match lay in how the txuri urdin team managed to aspire to draw a duel that the leader almost always had under control. It was not a siege of the Real, but as he was putting homegrown players in the “eleven” he ended up playing better and calmer. And, surely favored by Atlético's anxiety to win to be champion, their chances were very clear. More, in quality and quantity, than many times that he played in a mattress fiefdom. If he did not draw, as happens on many occasions to most teams in the League, it is because he faced Oblak.
