Arsenal FC v Atletico Madrid - UEFA Europa League Semi Final Leg One
What a save!

One of the most talented men with gloves in world football at the moment, Jan Oblak, was Atletico's saviour on the night with a number of remarkable saves to help his side go into the second leg with what could prove to be an overwhelming advantage for the side from north London.

As crucial as Greizmann's goal was on the night, the save by his Slovenian colleague to deny Aaron Ramsey's header, which, otherwise, seemed destined for the top corner, was brilliantly kept out with a diving right hand.

The save had a lot of David de Gea about it and we could see why the keeper is drawing such praise-worthy comparisons with the world's best.

His performance on the night proved that he isn't just ready to be compared to the best keepers in the world, but is also ready to compete with them.

Recently, Koke claimed that Atleti should give Oblak a blank cheque to keep him at Madrid. Anyone arguing?
