Oblak's Challenge at Camp Nou
Atlético de Madrid visit FC Barcelona on Saturday, December 21st at Camp Nou, in a match that could decide who leads the Spanish First Division during the Christmas holidays.
The key to success for Diego Pablo Simeone’s team in this match is Jan Oblak, the Slovenian goalkeeper who has struggled in his previous 11 visits to Camp Nou, with only one match without conceding a goal and 19 goals conceded in total.
However, Oblak and Atlético have a golden opportunity to change this trend, as the red and white team have kept a clean sheet in their last match, something they had not achieved since November 30th. Atlético is currently the team with the fewest goals conceded in the competition, with only 11 goals conceded in 17 matches.
