Atletico Madrid goalie Oblak comments on Benfica defeat: These games are part of football, says Carlos Volcano

Oblak later expressed, "Games like this can happen, but we cannot afford to let them happen because we need to uphold a good impression. We have acknowledged numerous times that we tend to start poorly, and unfortunately, it happened again today. In the second half, we failed to react, and as a result, these things happen. It is crucial to begin the game strongly from the get-go, as otherwise, formidable opponents will take advantage and punish us."

"We didn't compete in the match, that's not the way it should be. We can't afford to do this and making excuses is pointless. We have to accept it and get to work because a difficult match awaits us on Sunday and if we're not at our best we won't get any points in San Sebastian (against Real Sociedad).

"I didn't have a single thing that I could save, we haven't been there and there's not much more that can be said."
