'The most beautiful football!' - Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak reveals why Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar's link up at Barcelona was so good

Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar starred for the Blaugrana from 2014-2015, winning the treble in the 2014-15 season and establishing themselves as one of the best attacking trios in Europe. And Oblak conceded that Barca side was the most difficult to play against.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In a press conference before Atleti's La Liga clash with Barca this Sunday, Oblak spoke candidly about his toughest Catalunyan opponents: "But I think the Barca that played the most beautiful football was the Barca from 2015 or 2016. Well it doesn’t mean they weren’t performing very well in other seasons of course, but the strongest Barca since I arrived here in La Liga was in the first three years or so when I started to play at Atletico Madrid."

WHAT JAN OBLAK SAID

Oblak has been the first choice keeper for Atleti since 2014, winning the La Liga goalkeeper of the year three times, and winning the league in 2020-21 season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Atleti face a crucial fixture against Barca on Sunday. The Rojiblancos are currently four points behind leaders Girona, but have a game in hand. A win would keep them in the title race, and also damage the Blaugrana's hopes of defending their La Liga crown.
