Oblak, seven years of security under the sticks at Atlético

On July 22, 2014, Atlético de Madrid presented an unknown Slovenian goalkeeper who came from Benfica. He was the most expensive goalkeeper in LaLiga till the date: 16 million of euros. It seemed crazy, everyone put their hands on their heads and nobody understood anything.

Their first months were complicated, a hip injury did not allow him to have a good preseason and Miguel Angel Moyá, who came to be the substitute jumper, took over the position of headline. Coincidences of life, a Moyá injury in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen, he made Oblak get under sticks. Since that victory on penalties, where the Slovenian was key, Atlético de Madrid's goal has had no other owner than number 13.

For the Simeone team, Oblak saves are as important as the goals of his forwards. His hands have given the rojiblanco team many points and many knockouts. Its continuity has allowed the team to grow from the goal, because with a practically insurmountable wall, you know that, if they pass the defense, you have Oblak and the game saves you.

There are still people who think that 16 million were many, but today it can be said that it has been one of the most important signings in the club's history for everything he has reported: 5 Zamora Trophies, 1 League, 1 Europa League, 1 European Super Cup and 1 Spanish Super Cup. And dozens of stops that seemed impossible, like the one in three times against Bayer Leverkusen at the Calderón, the penalty against Müller at Bayern Arena or the recital against Liverpool at Anfield.

There are seven years of rojiblanca safety under the sticks, there are seven years of success and I hope that there will be seven more the years that Oblak stays at Atlético de Madrid, because Jan Oblak is synonymous with great moments.
