Oblak is looking forward to a historic night against Liverpool

Atletico Madrid's legendary goalkeeper Jan Oblak is set to return to Anfield, Liverpool's home ground, on Wednesday, marking the anniversary of one of his most memorable performances since joining the Spanish club. On an unforgettable night on March 11, 2020, Oblak wrote his name in gold letters in Champions League history after a phenomenal performance against Liverpool in the second leg of the Round of 16, brilliantly blocking 11 shots and leading his team to an epic quarter-final victory after a 3-2 extra-time victory. According to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", since his debut with Atletico on September 16, 2014 against Olympiacos (the team lost 3-2 at the time), Oblak has played 499 matches for the Rojiblancos, but no team has tested him like Liverpool did on that historic night, as the Reds fired 35 shots on goal, two of which hit the post. Nearly five years after that epic encounter, the profile of both teams has changed dramatically. Liverpool has only Mohamed Salah left of its attacking trio, while Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, and Joe Gomez remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's clash with Oblak.
