Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak has claimed that keeping a clean sheet could prove to be crucial following the goalless draw with Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Oblak made a number of key saves to prevent Real from finding a vital away goal, and he insists that the squad remain confident ahead of the second leg at the Bernabeu.
"I feel good, like the whole team do," the 22-year-old told TVE. "We worked hard and it was a very tough match. But now we have one week to prepare for the return.
"You always want to score and win but, with a 0-0, we'll see what will happen in the second leg. The clean sheet will surely be important for the second leg, though.
"I don't know who are the favourites. They are a great team with great players. But we are still alive."
Real will host their rivals in the second leg next Wednesday.
