Oblak was full of praise for the Hoops but believes they will be in for a different game altogether when they visit Madrid.
Atletico Madrid keeper Jan Oblak reckons Celtic’s desperation for Champions League points will play into his side’s hands.
The Slovenian shot-stopper was impressed by Brendan Rodgers’ men at Parkhead in their 2-2 draw a fortnight ago. But Oblak insists it will be a different game on Tuesday at the Metropolitano Stadium. The 30-year-old believes if Celtic go after Diego Simeone’s men in Madrid, Atletico will pick off the Scottish champions.
Oblak, who praised veteran Hoops keeper Joe Hart ahead of their Group A clash, said: “The match in Glasgow was rare. We dominated but only got one point. Celtic are a good team, champions of Scotland, so they get maximum respect. Hart is a top goalkeeper, it’s not easy to beat him. Scottish clubs are always difficult to play against in their own stadiums.
“But this match in Madrid will be different. They arrive here with a bit of tension because they can’t afford another defeat in the group. That might just be perfect for us as it will allow us to play our natural game.” Follow Record Sport on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.
