Atletico Madrid y Sevilla They will not only fight for third place in the Metropolitano (the rojiblancos have a small chance of being second, and those from Lopetegui even staying out of Champions) but there is another battle that will have the mattress fiefdom as its main stage: that of the Zamora Trophy.
Jan Oblak will relinquish the throne on which he sat for the fifth time last season at the end of the season as the least beaten goalkeeper in the championship, in which he received 25 goals in 38 games, being key in Atlético de Madrid’s conquest of the eleventh league. And precisely the goalkeeper who will be in front of him is the one with the most options to succeed the Slovenian as the winner of this award.
We refer to Bono. The former mattress youth squad leads the Zamora classification thanks to the 23 goals conceded in 30 commitments, which gives him an average of 0.77 per game. and second is Thibaut Courtoiswith 29 goals in 35 appearances (0.83). Rolls y Remiro they have fewer options.
The Belgian is looking for his fourth Zamora, since he already got two with Atlético and one with Real Madrid. And Ancelotti has already announced that he will not play in Cádiz, although he will do so against Betis on the last day, within that rotation policy that the Italian is applying once he has already been League champion.
THE BILLS
The accounts are clear. If Courtois doesn’t concede in that game next week, he needs Bono to concede three goals in the two remaining games for Sevilla., Sunday at the Metropolitano and then against Athletic at Pizjuán. If only one played, they would have to concede two… as long as Madrid keep a clean sheet against a Betis that can reach the Bernabéu with Champions League options.
What is clear is that Bono or Courtois will take over from an Oblak who is already LaLiga history (only Valdes y Ramallets they have achieved five, like the Slovenian) but that this season they have received more goals than ever, and that they will be an exceptional witness to the outcome of Zamora 21-22.
