Oblak

Some top players didn’t make the cut, like Son Heung-Min, Luka Modric, Joshua Kimmich, Jan Oblak, Ederson, Jude Bellingham, and five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Croatian keeper, standing in for the injured Jan Oblak, let a long throw-in from the left touchline slip through his hands inside the six-yard box, with Elche’s Fidel Chaves in the right place to tap the ball into a wide-open net in the 41st minute.

Ronaldo was left in tears after he was denied from the penalty spot by goalkeeper Jan Oblak during their last 16 clash against Slovenia, missing out on a golden chance to take the lead in the match.

Atletico’s dominance briefly subsided and Granada might have gone in level at half-time, their best chance falling to Victor Diaz, who was denied at close range by Jan Oblak.

But the potential availability of Oblak – deemed by many to be the best goalkeeper in world football – could provide an exciting alternative.

But United want to be kept in the loop on Oblak’s situation with the future of error-strewn David De Gea in doubt.

Oblak’s release clause stands at €120million – around £109million.

Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak caught a cross and rolled the ball out quickly to Thomas Lemar, who turned midway inside his own half and looked to counter attack.

He stung Jan Oblak’s hands with a free-kick six minutes into this match and leapt to head goalwards in the very last minute here.

His cross was perfect, an invitation that Matuidi accepted, heading past Oblak.

I’m going to defend these colours to the best of my abilities and continue working hard,” Oblak told the club’s website.

Somehow, Oblak gets a touch to it.

But still Atletico did not go quietly into the night, with Jan Oblak making a string of fine saves before Antoine Griezmann raced clear at the other end to steal a crucial away goal.

Dembele’s equalizer came with a low left-footed shot past goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

He was also keen to point out that keeping hold of key players like striker Griezmann and goalkeeper Jan Oblak when they were constantly linked with moves away from the Spanish capital was a positive statement of intent for the club.

He was clean through with the game’s best opportunity, but Oblak was out fast to deny him with an excellent save.

Messi’s left-footed strike gave Jan Oblak little chance.

Oblak, Atletico’s highly-rated keeper, saved point blank from the Arsenal forward the Nacho Monreal swung in a cross from the left.

Sevilla had plenty of chances with Colombian striker Luis Muriel seeing Atletico keeper Jan Oblak deny him with a smart save.

The best example came after 32 minutes, when Jan Oblak threw out the ball to Filipe Luis, who combined with Thomas Lemar before passing back into defence.
