Atlético got an idea a month and a half ago of what Salzburg is. The Austrian champion appeared in the Wanda Metropolitano as a team without complexes, brave and with great ease to reach the rival area. Which has been throughout the Champions League, because even against Bayern he was not self-conscious. Upside down. The champion he kicked, in both games, more than any team in the tournament to any rival. Neuer had to become a giant so your team wouldn't get scared …
Salzburg gave Bayern 37 shots between the two games. From them, 21 went to goal: 10 in Austria, of which Neuer stopped eight (2-6); and 11 in Munich, of which the goalkeeper stopped 10 (3-1 final). For comparison, the German goalkeeper received as many shots on target for Salzburg at home (and saved one more) as Oblak at Anfield last March. The Austrians are a constant danger. And it is not only that he insists, but that he has scored 10 goals in this Champions League, twice that of Atlético.
Who pose the biggest threat to Oblak? The figures point to Berisha: the striker has four goals with nine shots on goal. Its star, Szoboszlai, has scored two goals, one of them at the Wanda Metropolitano. Salzburg managed to score two goals against Oblak (the other was an own goal), as many as he has conceded in ten league games. In Austria the threat will be even worse, because the locals are forced to win.
