Jan Oblak's score against Atlético Madrid.
Jan Oblak, the goalkeeper for the Slovenian national team and FC Porto in Portugal, made history on April 22, 2018 when he scored his first goal as a professional footballer. The goal came in a UEFA Champions League match between FC Porto and Atlético Madrid.
The match was played at the Estádio do Dragão, and it was the second leg of a round of 16 tie that had already been decided by a 1-0 home win for Atlético Madrid in the first leg. In the second half, Atlético Madrid's midfielder Koke managed to get past the FC Porto defense and find the back of the net with a header. However, FC Porto refused to give up and continued pressing forward.
As the game reached its climax, Jan Oblak stepped up to the plate. He was given the opportunity to make a save from a corner kick, and he did not disappoint. With a swift movement, he redirected the ball towards the goalpost and hit it with such force that it flew into the top right-hand corner of the net.
The goal was a remarkable achievement for Jan Oblak, who had just turned 22 years old at the time. It was also a historic moment for FC Porto, which had previously never won a single European competition before this season. The goal gave FC Porto hope going into the next leg of the tournament and ultimately led them to reach the quarter-finals.
Since then, Jan Oblak has gone on to become one of the most successful goalkeepers in the world. He has earned numerous accolades, including being named the UEFA Men's Player of the Year in 2019 and winning the Golden Glove award twice. His goal against Atlético Madrid remains a memorable moment in football history, and it is a testament to his incredible talent and dedication to the sport.
