FC Barcelona and Athletic of Madrid measure this Saturday in the Camp Nou, in a battle that could decide the title of LaLiga. Although Ernesto Valverde and the Cholo Simeone have some doubts doubt in his respective alignments, there is absolute certainty in the goals, where except problem of last hour will be, as always, Marc-André Ter Stegen and Jan Oblak.

Although it is true that both are in a group stood out between the best cancerberos of the planet, also is it that the esloveno has turned into the greater nightmare of the German, since it has snatched him one of his more wished titles, the Trophy Zamora. In the last times, the one of Mönchengladbach has improved a lot and the Barcelona saga has supported him in more than a campaign, but there is not greater defensive specialists that the rojiblancos and this has been determinant for the one of Skofja Loka.

The ex of the Benfica accumulates already three entorchados consecutive and goes launched to the chamber, although this never has been guarantee against the culés. In multiple occasions has saved to his and even has attained to mark differences against the Catalans, but again, whenever they have crossed his ways, has had problems so that his usual and imponente wall stood up.

Only it does lacking to throw a glimpse to the global statistics of Oblak and to his registers against the Barça to observe that this is a rival that no gives him at all well. In this season, has played 2700 minutes in 30 Days of LaLiga, leaving the goal to zero in 17 meetings (63,3% of the total) and conceding a remarkable figure of 19 targets against (0,63 of average by party).

But if his opponents dress of Barcelona, the promising data tuercen irremediablemente, beginning by an account of results that launches eight defeats, three ties and hardly a victory in 12 clashes. And this is not the worst, because this triumph coincided with his only goal to zero (2-0 in Champions for 8,33% of the total). The balance is demoledor, since in the 12 crashes mentioned has fit 17 so many what elevates his average until 1,41 by commitment.

Leo Messi is the big threat for Jan Oblak

Speaking of 'enemies' to individual level, the elder is, as it was to expect, Leo Messi, author of six of these 17 goals. They follow him Luis Suárez (4) and Neymar (3), in addition to Ousmane Dembélé, Ivan Rakitic and Rafinha Alcántara with one per person, and also a Joao Miranda that had the bad fortune to annotate the remaining in own put.

The true is that the rosarino is a threat look by where look , so much by his performance along the years as by his more recent voracity. The Athletic is his second favourite victim after the Seville, and has lumbered with him 28 so many in 37 particular clashes. Besides, it accumulates 42 targets and 21 assistances in 39 parties in what it goes of course, and has the sight fine-tuned by nine of them have arrived in the last five meetings.
