Musso, at the Forefront in Atlético's Goal for the Semifinal
Juan Musso will be Atlético’s starting goalkeeper in the crucial second leg of the semifinals, a decision confirmed by Cholo Simeone, leaving Oblak with no options for this match. This bet on Musso in the Cup reaffirms Simeone’s policy in this competition, where the Argentine has proven to be up to the challenge.
Musso’s arrival has generated healthy competition between the posts, something not seen since the time of Moyá. His performance, reflected in a 79.2% success rate in his seven matches (six in the Cup and one in the League), contrasts with the good level of Oblak, who despite his miracles and a 72.4% success rate last season, has shown some inconsistency.
The second leg of the semifinals is an unbeatable showcase for Musso, an opportunity to prove his worth and establish himself as a reliable goalkeeper for Atlético. The match presents a great challenge for the Argentine, who has in his hands the responsibility of defending the Rojiblanca goal at a key moment of the season.
Simeone’s decision doesn’t stir the debate, Musso will play. In this match, Musso’s performance could be decisive for the team’s future in the competition. His performance will determine whether Atlético’s goal continues to be an undisputed territory for Oblak, or whether Musso has arrived to stay and challenge the established order.
