At the end of the match, the star in the Madrid goal spoke bitterly about the failure and remembered his colleague Antoine Griezmann, who will leave the team in the summer after signed in MLS, with Orlando City.
Jan Oblak, after elimination: “I was not lucky”
“The best always wins. They won, our congratulations. Of course I'm sad and angry, but that's football. In the second half we played better.
In the first one, maybe I showed too much respect to the opponent. After the break we improved our game, but it was not enough to reach the final. We weren't lucky, we're disappointed, but that's life,” Oblak stated.
The Slovenian goalkeeper also commented on Antoine Griezmann's last match in the Champions League, in the Madrid shirt.
“Griezmann? He's a special player. It's a shame that his breakup happened this way. We feel sorry for him and our fans. Everyone was hoping to see him in the final, but we didn't manage to qualify. It's very unpleasant.” added Oblak, quoted by sportal.bg.
We made a very good edition of the Champions League. I gave it my all. I have come much further than the world expected. It's a shame, because I think we would have deserved, both in the round and today, to take the match to extra time and maybe we would have had an extra chance.
It makes no sense to talk about that CLEAR penalty on Griezmann. There is no point in discussing this now. Sometimes the decisions of the referees can be in our favor, sometimes not! Tonight we were unlucky
– Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach
