Oblak: Zamora Within Reach at the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid prepares for their last match of the season, secure in their third-place finish. Simeone, aware of this, could take the opportunity to give minutes to players who haven’t had as much participation and bid farewell to some footballers.
However, there’s a very important individual incentive at stake: the Zamora Trophy for Jan Oblak. The Slovenian goalkeeper is on the verge of securing his sixth Zamora, a historic milestone that would establish him as the first goalkeeper to achieve it.
Oblak would secure the Zamora directly without participating. No one could match his coefficient and only he can lose it. After conceding goals in recent matches, Oblak maintains a considerable advantage. If he doesn’t play against Girona, the trophy will be his.
If he participates, the situation is very favorable. For Courtois to snatch the award, Oblak would have to concede five goals and the Madrid goalkeeper play more than 60 minutes without conceding, or six goals if the Belgian doesn’t participate.
An unlikely scenario, which leaves the Zamora practically in the hands of the Atlético goalkeeper. The Rojiblancos fans hope to celebrate this individual achievement that reaffirms Oblak’s quality and consistency between the posts.
