Champions League draw offers Liverpool glimpse of failed 2018 target Jan Oblak
Reigning champions Liverpool have been drawn against Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.
It’s not the worst tie in the world for the Reds and they will faꦕncy be𓆏ating Diego Simeone’s side to progress to the last eight.
Atletico are fifth in La Liga and 𝔉although they have lost just twice, the eight drawn games have stalled their title challenge.
When the two teams meet, Liverpool will come face-to-fac♐e with a player they very nearly signed.
Goalkeeper Jan Oblak will be the man tasked with keeping Liverpool out ꧋and reports in 2018 linkedꦑ him to Anfield.
claimed that a world record bid of £85 million wa🅷s rejected by the Sloven🦩ian goalkeeper.
O🐻blak arrived in the Spanish capital from Benfica in 2014 and has proved a revelation for Atletico. The 26-year-old has🐼 played 231 games for Los Rojiblancos, keeping 129 clean sheets in the process.
Liverpool saved themselves a bit of money by landing 𒁃Alisson Becker for £67 million.
The Brazil🐎ian can occasionally be erratic but given 𝔍the success Liverpool have had with him in the team it’s hard to argue with the transfer strategy.
O൲blak i💫s often viewed as one of the world’s best goalkeepers and the Reds will hope he doesn’t come back to haunt them.
Main man
The man with 28 Slovenia caps has kept nine clean sheets this season and he is a firm fan favourite at th𒊎e Wanda Metropolitano.
His remit of keeping Liverpool at bay looks thankless. The Reds are the runaway leaders of the Prem♛ier League and Oblak will need to be at his very b⭕est.
The custodian𝓡ꦯ might have a Champions League winners medal to his name had he made the switch to Anfield.
Whatever the thou🍎ght process was behind now making෴ the switch, it now looks somewhat flawed.
Oblak will hope to at least take some consolation from his failed transf꧋er by helping to send Liv🌃erpool packing in this year’s competition.
