Oblak: European Centenary, Athletic Legend
Jan Oblak continues to write his name in gold letters in the history of Atlético de Madrid. The recent match against Real Madrid marked a milestone: his 100th match defending the Rojiblanca in European competitions.
This achievement further consolidates his status as one of the club’s great idols. With 478 matches played, Oblak is the fourth player with the most appearances for Atlético de Madrid, a mark that he will soon surpass.
In the European arena, only Koke surpasses his 100 matches, establishing himself as a fundamental pillar in the Colchoneros’ goal. In addition, Oblak is the foreign player with the most matches defending the Atlético shirt, a statistic that continues to grow.
Since his arrival on July 16, 2014 and his debut in the Champions League against Olympiacos, Oblak has left an indelible mark. His performances have earned him five Zamora awards, his inclusion in the ideal team of the UEFA Champions League on two occasions and in that of the UEFA Europa League.
He has also been a benchmark with the Slovenian national team, wearing the captain’s armband. His honors with Atleti include a Spanish Super Cup, a Europa League, a European Super Cup and the LaLiga 2020/21 title. Congratulations, Jan, for your European centenary and for continuing to enhance the history of Atlético de Madrid!
