Oblak on the verge of his sixth Zamora trophy
Despite Atlético de Madrid no longer fighting for the LaLiga title, they still have important objectives in these final matches. After the recent defeat, the team seeks to return to winning ways and, at the same time, match last season’s points tally.
Above all, the club focuses its attention on Jan Oblak and his possible sixth Zamora trophy, an unprecedented milestone in Spanish football that would further consolidate his legend.
The Slovenian goalkeeper, despite the team’s performance away from home, has a coefficient of 0.83 goals conceded per game after conceding 29 goals in 35 matches. His main competitor, Courtois, has a higher coefficient, which puts Oblak in a favorable position to obtain the award.
In fact, if Oblak plays in the next matches against Betis and Girona, he would have the opportunity to consolidate his advantage and secure the Zamora. Even if he didn’t play and Courtois didn’t concede goals in the next matches, the Slovenian would still maintain a slight advantage in the coefficient.
A new Zamora for Oblak would not only mean breaking the tie with Valdés and Ramallets, but would also consolidate his position as one of the best goalkeepers in the history of LaLiga. Atlético, although disappointed for not reaching the title, considers that this individual achievement would be an important joy for the club and its fans.
