Barcelona 2-0 Atletico Madrid: 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Jan Oblak

Oblak was excellent and needed to be, keeping his side in the game for 86 minutes

If Gimenez enjoyed a great individual night, Jan Oblak certainly did too. The battle for world's best goalkeeper continues to intensify with ter Stegen and de Gea both regarded as the best in their position.

With displays like his on this occasion, Oblak continues to prove why he deserves more credit and recognition than he's given: as one of the world's best too. He made nine saves in total and although he'd perhaps expect to be busy against the league's best, Barca would have been out of sight long before the 86th minute if not for his timely interventions.

He made a good diving save to deny Philippe Coutinho before the break, after the Brazilian weaved past a pair of challenges into the area. Reacting quickly off his line to avert danger after Godin's mistake in possession almost proved costly, he cleared his lines and showed great anticipation.

In the second-half, Barca created more chances and were beginning to smell blood. Despite making a routine catch to thwart Coutinho's looping header, he made a difficult stop look easy to smother Messi's effort - which took a slight deflection on its way through towards goal.

Relieving pressure on his teammates was important and as always, Oblak was dependable as Atleti's last line of defence. He made an excellent save from close-range to stifle Suarez at the end of a brilliant Messi move, having galloped forward near the halfway line before teeing up his strike partner inside the box.

His movement was key, though Suarez looked in disbelief that he hadn't converted the chance. Messi came close again, this time forcing a fumble from the Slovenian - before he duly delivered an impressive double save to deny Lionel and substitute Malcom.

On another day, he'd have been heralded for keeping a clean sheet and winning his side a valuable point. However, Barca's late pressure ultimately proved enough to snatch a dramatic victory and there was nothing he could've done differently to stop either strike.
