Atlético player ratings, Oblak under friendly fire | OneFootball

Atlético’s player-by-player after a night that flipped just after the interval, Jan Oblak beaten three times from minimal chances. As reported by as.com, a fragile back line and three damaging minutes defined it.

Before the collapse, Kang-in Lee weaved past his man and cracked a right-footer against the post. The restart brought a quick double, Nico’s point-blank header, then Robert Navarro cut inside past Grimaldo. Later, Cardoso’s clearance fell to Sancet for the third.

Oblak was largely idle then left exposed. Llorente covered right-back, wing-back and forward but lacked punch in the area. Pubill competed well in duels, Hancko stepped out to win territory, yet the defence unravelled and Grimaldo struggled, including from set pieces.

Hjulmand screened both boxes and was withdrawn in a quadruple change. Barrios knitted play and attacked space, but a loose pass preceded the opener, his workload is heavy and he will need a breather soon. Giuliano could not find fluency on a right-leaning flank.

Lookman laboured on the left with few telling touches. Baena drifted between lines and had sights of goal but lacked definition. Kang-in Lee stayed busy searching angles, then went off, likely because of his first-half booking.

Debutant Cuti Romero tried to squeeze up with Atlético chasing. Arnau Ortiz sought disruption but encountered no space. Julián Alvarez drew a sharp stop from Unai Simón, livelier than against Villarreal yet short of peak form. Koke went long to break lines. Cardoso came on late to help contain counters.
