Watch Atletico's Jan Oblak pull off a ridiculous triple save against Bayer Leverkusen
One of Atletico Madrid and Diego Simeone's trademarks is a stingy defense, but even the most disciplined teams can be broken down. That's when it helps to have a top-class goalkeeper in the net as the last line of defense. Fortunately for Atletico, they have one of those in Jan Oblak.
He pulled off a ridiculous triple save on Wednesday in the second leg of Atletico's Champions League tie against Bayer Leverkusen. Just watch:

First, Oblak stopped Julian Brandt on the breakaway. Then, he parried away a follow-up attempt from Kevin Volland. The Bayer Leverkusen winger had a second bite of the apple and still couldn't deliver, as a sprawling Oblak dove across for another save.
Triple. Save.
The 24-year-old Slovenian is the latest in a line of quality young keepers to patrol Atletico's penalty area. It looks like the Spanish side have another gem on their hands after snapping him up from Benfica in 2014.
