Jan Oblak - Keeps clean sheet versus PSG Oblak made eight saves and kept a clean sheet during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League win over PSG.

Impact Oblak couldn't do much when Warren Zaire-Emery appeared unmarked in front of him after a huge defensive giveaway from a defender and opened the scoring for the opposition. Other than that, the goalkeeper was simply perfect, making more saves than he did in any game from this season and the previous one to put his team in position to get a come-from-behind win. A much needed bounceback performance for a player who had allowed eight goals over the previous three UCL games.

Impact Simeone had back-to-back starts for the first time with Atleti and also made his debut as a starter in European competition. Unfortunately for him, the performance didn't match what he did during the previous domestic game, which led him to be subbed off at the hour mark. With so many attacking alternatives at the squad, Simeone is very far from being considered a surefire starter, but no one can deny he's been increasingly earning playing time as of late.

Antoine Griezmann - Logs assist in UCL win Griezmann delivered an assist, had one off-target shot and made three tackles (all won) during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League win over PSG.

Then, he performed amazingly on the defensive end as well, playing his part for his team to withstand some stretches of heavy pressure during the second half. That's now a goal and an assist over the last two starts in all competitions for Molina, who prior to that was zeroed in both categories this season.

Impact Sorloth entered the fray for the final 25 minutes of play Sunday and iced the match with Atletico's second goal in their 2-0 victory over Las Palmas. After scoring 23 goals as the focal point for the Villarreal attack during the 2023/2024 La Liga season, Sorloth finds himself in a rotational role behind Antione Griezmann and Julian Alvarez in the Atleti pecking order. The veteran striker has made 12 La Liga appearances (seven starts), scoring four goals and assisting twice over those appearances.

The clean sheet broke a six-match clean sheet drought (all competitions). Over his first 11 La Liga appearances (11 starts), Oblak has led Atleti to the best defensive record in Spain by making 29 saves, recording five clean sheets and allowing just seven goals against. After a midweek Champions league clash at the Parc des Princes versus Paris-Saint Germain, Oblak should find himself in net for Atleti's next La Liga match Sunday versus Mallorca who are averaging less than one goal scored per match.
