Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak made two saves in the shoot-out and admitted luck is always a big factor. He said after the game: “In the end it's a bit about luck in the shootout. 'Because you have to choose the correct side and you have to make the stop. If the player takes the kick perfectly, it's impossible to stop it.
