Even despite the recent trend of miraculous sporting comebacks, not many people were expecting Bayer Leverkusen to overturn a 4-2 home loss to Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon tonight.
However, the German team still gave Diego Simeone's team a hell of a game in the Spanish capital, tonight, but could not find a way past the 'Rojiblancos', with the game ending 0-0.
The main reason why Leverkusen couldn't successfully reduce the two goal deficit was Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who was serving up hot fucking fire between the sticks.

The highlight of Oblak's night was this quite frankly ridiculous triple save in the 77th minute:
The former Benfica goalkeeper went full blown Gandalph, letting absolutely sweet fuck all get past him.

Then again, we shouldn't be surprised that the Slovenian stopper was in such fine form, given his stats, this season:
Atletico advanced 4-2 on aggregate, reaching the last eight for the fourth season in a row.
