GK: Jan Oblak (Club Atlético de Madrid)
A red card nearly interrupted Atlético Madrid’s chances of securing a narrow 1-0 win on the road against Galician outfit Celta Vigo, but star goalkeeper Jan Oblak was one of a number of key performers in the second half that secured all three points for Diego Simeone’s men away from home.
