Jan Oblak expressed frustration over Atletico Madrid's inconsistent performance following a 1-1 draw with Espanyol, marking their longest winless streak since November 2022. Despite Cesar Azpilicueta's early opener, Javi Puado's equalizing penalty resulted in Atleti falling six points behind LaLiga leaders Barcelona. With Croatia’s exit from the Champions League still fresh, Oblak signaled the bleakness of their title aspirations. Coach Simeone acknowledged a fair result but noted the importance of mental resilience as they prepare to face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-finals following a thrilling first leg draw.
Two important points have slipped away. It's a strange moment, a difficult moment that we're not able to win. We are not having the necessary consistency to be able to fight for LaLiga.
The draw was fair. We controlled the game better in the first half, we were doing well, we had good control of it.
The penalty came from an isolated play and they scored the goal and the game went into a different territory, they had the home enthusiasm with their people to win.
We know that in the season there are good moments, regular ones, bad ones. You have to know how to get through them and compete until the end.
