Juan Musso He started… and stood out again. The Argentine remained in the eleven of the Athleticleaving this time a recovered Oblak on the bench, with the goal debate more open than ever in recent years. Simeone opted for continuity and his compatriot proved him right with a spectacular first half, in which he helped his team stay in the tie.
In fact, it barely took him half a minute to make the first stop, Laminatealthough those 45 minutes, plus four of extension, would still leave two other spectacular actions, one against Ferran and another against Ferminavoiding what would have been the third visitor goal before Lookman scored for Atlético. The first step towards the red and white classification corresponded to the Argentine goalkeeper.
Musso: “It’s crazy to want to pass this off as a robbery”
“I never stopped believing since I was a child and dreams can come true”Musso assured at the conclusion of the clash. The goalkeeper, who will experience his first final with Atlético this Saturday, assured that the red and white team did not get nervous at any time: “we trust our team a lot. At no point in the series did we go behind. We tried to do our best. C“We have a lot of faith in our team, in our dream.”

Juan Musso
Musso had to stop less in the second act, but he remained safe at the top. Everything now indicates that the Argentine will remain under sticks on Saturday in the Cup final, not in vain has he played the entire KO tournament. It will be later, with Atlético’s return to the League and with the Champions League semi-final on the horizon, when Simeone will have to decide again between the sticks. Whatever he does, the two tenants of the goal offer all the guarantees. Musso and Oblak, Oblak and Musso, both ride. But there is still time for that, now is the time for Juan to enjoy: “Hopefully we have three Champions League games left.”
Tired of arbitration controversies
Where Musso once again showed himself forceful was when talking about possible controversies. The Argentine wanted to settle any doubts about the red and whites’ pass with a stroke of the pen: “It’s crazy to want to pass this off as a robbery. It seems there were eight penalties that were not charged.”. They were two last man plays, if they are asking for a penalty about Fermín… I hurt for him, he got hurt. It is a movement that occurs at the moment of covering with my leg.”
He also had words for the fans who packed the Metropolitano to carry their team. “We have the best fans in Europe,” he said. What seems clear is that Atlético has the best substitute goalkeeper in the world. It is difficult for anyone to be happier than the Argentine last night at the Colchonero stadium. A goalkeeper who dreams of winning the Champions League: “You don’t find yourself in the semifinals by chance. Obviously we dream of winning it. We like to dream big.” For now, the dream continues.
