Diego Simeone Hails Jan Oblak as 'Best Goalkeeper in the World' After Atletico Beat Celta Vigo

Diego Simeone has hailed Jan Oblak as the 'best keeper in the world' as Atletico Madrid secured a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The home side were put under heavy pressure early on and Oblak was forced into a number of key saves which kept the scores level, and they proved to be crucial. Antoine Griezmann put the home side ahead in spectacular fashion with his 20-yard free kick finding the top corner on the stroke of half time.

Alvaro Morata then settled any remaining nerves with a quarter of an hour left as he rounded the goalkeeper and slotted home to wrap up a 2-0 win for Atletico.
