In all this time of confinement we have trained well and we have been prepared for this challenge, so our goal is accomplished, because we have entered the Champions League, but at the beginning of the season we were looking for something else, although in the end it was not possible. Before confinement we were sixth and at the end of the season we were third. An objective accomplished, but it is certainly not what we have sought and wanted, “Oblak acknowledged.
