“It won’t be good until you get back on the field.”

Atlético lost to relegated Cadiz in the previous round of the Spanish League and were knocked out of the Champions League with a leg to spare at home to Bayern Leverkusen. We did everything we could to win, but for now nothing is going our way. Atletico’s fans are disappointed. We deserve more than a draw,” Oblak said. “Obviously, we’re not in a good place psychologically.
What we’re going through is not normal, and if we’re not psychologically good, our bodies don’t work properly.” The draw with Espanyol left Atlético 10 points behind leaders Barcelona. Who beat Almeria 2-0 at home on Saturday, and eight behind Real Madrid, who travel to Rayo Vallecano on Monday.
