Oblak said that he is "feeling very good" and that "It doesn't feel like we had a three-month break."
Adding to this, he stat that he is "feeling good in goal and It think the team is too. Maybe you could tell after the first game, but now we're improving and I hope we attack the upcoming matches like we did today."
Whilst he is glad to have reached the milestone, he admitted that he doesn't "pay much attention to stats"
The Slovenian has become one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the world since joining Atletico Madrid from Benfica in 2014.
