At 3 AM on October 3, in the second round of the Champions League, Benfica defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. After the match, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak gave an interview.
Obalk said, “Such a game can happen, but we can no longer afford it because we presented a poor image. We have talked many times about how poorly we started, and today was no different. In the second half, we still did not respond as we usually do in other games. You must get into the right state from the start because if you don’t, strong opponents will punish you.”
“We did not show the competitive level required in the game, and it’s meaningless to look for excuses. We must improve quickly because there is a tough game waiting for us on Sunday, and if we are not at our best, we will not be able to secure points against Real Sociedad.”
“I have nothing else to say; we were not in good form, and there’s not much more to add. What we can do now is accept the defeat and move forward.”
