The Slovenian shot-stopper was key to his side's survival in the first half, saving everything that came near his hands.

Jan Oblak proved himself as a valuable asset for Atletico today, after denying every single opportunity Real Madrid created against Los Colchoneros. The Slovenian goalkeeper was the man of the match for Simeone's crew, saving eight chances, claiming one more cross and performing correctly when his side needed him to.

After Oblak's display, Atletico levelled the game's actions, putting in serious danger Iker Casillas' net in several moments, but then again, Oblak emerged to stop Cristiano Ronaldo's attempts on goal, keeping the Quarter final series open for the second leg, which will be held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Single-handedly, Oblak managed to keep Simeone's unbeaten record against Los Blancos this season, with the team's fourth consecutive clean sheet at Vicente Calderon when facing Ancelotti's men.

Oblak's performance generated various reactions, having fans and experts praising the 22-year old. Scroll down and read some of the best comments below!
