Impact Oblak couldn't do much when Warren Zaire-Emery appeared unmarked in front of him after a huge defensive giveaway from a defender and opened the scoring for the opposition. Other than that, the goalkeeper was simply perfect, making more saves than he did in any game from this season and the previous one to put his team in position to get a come-from-behind win. A much needed bounceback performance for a player who had allowed eight goals over the previous three UCL games.

Unfortunately for him, the performance didn't match what he did during the previous domestic game, which led him to be subbed off at the hour mark. With so many attacking alternatives at the squad, Simeone is very far from being considered a surefire starter, but no one can deny he's been increasingly earning playing time as of late.
