Oblak visits Remiro's house wanting to make up for himself

Atlético visit the Reale Arena with the clear mission of adding a victory that allows extend the lead with Real Sociedad to six points and continue in the lead. A stadium that has always had a maximum difficulty for the rojiblancos and where there have been three defeats in the last four visits.

Oblak knows that he will have a job against a team that, equaled with Real Madrid and Barcelona, leads the league table of goals scored and that has also stood out for its defensive strength, being the second that has conceded the least only behind Atlético himself. The Slovenian is the safest goalkeeper so far in the competition despite the three goals conceded in the last two days and He has only conceded five goals in the 12 games played by the rojiblanco team.

Álex Remiro has conceded twice, although he has played two more games. The Real Sociedad goalkeeper started the season at an enormous level, although the last punctures of the team have caused him to receive six goals in the last three league games (more than Oblak all season). And it is that for the Atlético goalkeeper it will not be another game. He knows that leaving a clean sheet would ensure at least one point and that last season he lived an experience of those that remain in the memory.

Atlético lived a tragic five minutes on their last visit to Real Sociedad, after receiving the goal from Odegaard in minute 58 and only three minutes later, after a lateral foul, a ball that Oblak could not save in an action where he does not usually give second chances, was finished off by Monreal hitting the goalkeeper's chin to widen the score and leave him completely knocked out on the grass. After being assisted, visibly dizzy, Oblak wanted to continue, but the medical services recommended his replacement. Finally everything was in a great shock and a strong blow. That end of the game from the dressing room was the only 24 minutes of the last League in which Oblak was not on the field. A bad experience that the Slovenian will try to forget with a new stellar performance. A large part of Atlético's success in the game and in this League depends on his gloves.
