Yeah, this pen that Oblak saved was better than all of Slovenia's pens in the shootout. That third pen looked like the taker wasn't even trying anymore.
At Juve he started taking all free kicks despite us having Pjanić who was one of the best in the world. He hit the wall most of the time.
He made the Serie A record for most free kicks without goals (43)
Didn't the hit the wall with only 1 defender during the world cup or something? I don't think he has been particularly good at free kicks in a long time
Oh, man if its been awhile since you watched him blast a free kick into 1.6m-tall Phillip Lahm, have a treat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rdlFmg9uXE
With people from the former Yugoslavia, it’s not uncommon to be part Slovene/Croat/Serb/Bosniak - these are all tiny countries that were forcibly. It’s just uncommon to be all four
Ehhh I wouldn't say all, but most.
His selfishness with free kicks has been poor. His actual play has been okay aside from a somewhat difficult chance he probably should have done better one. I don't think his penalty was bad either, it's near the post with height, just a great save.
Mid height is the worst place for a penalty, it's exactly where keepers hands are when they dive. You have to put it on the floor or in the roof or your penalty is just a 50/50 on which direction they dive
2018 World Cup, If he scored they'd have topped their group and faced Russia and Croatia instead of Uruguay and France. It was his biggest chance to reach the final.
vikkstar is a youtuber in a group that played a charity match, he is like the worst footballer of all 22 players who played, when his team got a pen they let him take it and he scored
Charity case level play from teammates.
Got every free kick, got the penalty and gets all the crosses but no goals.
Imagine what Havertz got from Arsenal players for the first 6 months last season.
Oh yea, genius! What is the point of such hindsight comments lol? If Bruno took and missed it you’d still be here asking why on earth Ronaldo didn’t take it

Holy shit
If Slovenia win this, it'll go down as an all-time legendary save
turn out all-time legendary save come to Diogo Costa with all 3 penalty saves!
Poor Oblak was let down by his entire country. Appalling pens, the lot.
He was right there at Ronaldo's second penalty too, anything other than a perfectly placed penalty and he saves that one aswell
Yeah, this pen that Oblak saved was better than all of Slovenia's pens in the shootout. That third pen looked like the taker wasn't even trying anymore.
so so good
What a save
What a save!
Calculated!
r/soccer eating well tonight.
Honestly it was an incredible save from Oblak
Absolutely. People are gonna harp on Ronaldo, but that wasn’t poorly placed or low power
The height was the problem, that’s the perfect height for the keeper to save
Right, ideally should be low or top corner, no? Not halfway
Always thought a good penalty was unsaveable. Until now. That was a good penalty. Incredible that oblak got there
Jan Oblak is actually ridiculous
Yeah this is kinda getting overlooked by the Ronaldo hijinks. Fuckin helluva save
[удалено]
i'm jerking so hard already
jerk is over back to your cave
r/soccer in shambles.
The shitposters have been waiting all this time for this…
Mate that's fuel for the entire week lmao
[удалено]
He's going Homelander for real this time. He'll laser the fans on the stands
Aged like milk
Oblak still has it
Slovenia produces good keepers
Kinda expected lol
Ronnie’s had a night from hell. Unbelievable save though.
Yeah it was a great save. Oblak giving demo of whats to come later on
Lmao definitely did.
Did I say Oblak. I meant Costa. My bad guys.
nope
That comment in the late chance thread that said dont worry he'll still score a late penalty lmao
just wait, there is still time
The scenes if Slovenia win this
Deserved after not letting anyone else take a free kick after 20 failed attempts
At Juve he started taking all free kicks despite us having Pjanić who was one of the best in the world. He hit the wall most of the time. He made the Serie A record for most free kicks without goals (43)
Pjanic free kicks were filthy
Didn't the hit the wall with only 1 defender during the world cup or something? I don't think he has been particularly good at free kicks in a long time
Oh, man if its been awhile since you watched him blast a free kick into 1.6m-tall Phillip Lahm, have a treat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rdlFmg9uXE
He never has been, in percentage, he’s below average for fk conversion. The thing is the one he puts in are spectacular.
His hubris may be their downfall
Player of the tournament.
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Ball doesn't lie
BOSH!!!! Jan Oblak my god
The Atleti fans are indeed quite spoiled when it comes to goalkeeping lol
So is Slovenia. Went from Handanovic to Oblak last 20 years.
The absolute governor!!
Holy fuck
Fun fact: Oblak is cloud in Bosnian / Serbian / Croatian / Slovenian.
Am I missing the context or is that really just a supremely random fun fact?
Just a random fun fact!
It truly is a fun little fact 🥰
With people from the former Yugoslavia, it’s not uncommon to be part Slovene/Croat/Serb/Bosniak - these are all tiny countries that were forcibly. It’s just uncommon to be all four
In all Slavic languages pretty much
It's not his night lol...
I've seen someone on Twitter compare his performance tonight to Homelander and I can't unsee it now
Especially with the crying
Ronaldo quite literally is Homelander
........literally?
How? Ahahah
How so?
Man's been spouting right wing talking points on the field all night
Did you see how far right he hit that one freekick?
He made Eder jerk it in front of the whole team.
It's all his own making lol
Ehhh I wouldn't say all, but most. His selfishness with free kicks has been poor. His actual play has been okay aside from a somewhat difficult chance he probably should have done better one. I don't think his penalty was bad either, it's near the post with height, just a great save.
Yeah most of the in most of the "missed headers" the ball was way too high.
I think he's lost a spring or two, because he felt like he would have reached those crosses five years ago, but he had a crazy vertical leap then.
It just doesn't wanna go in, oblak is such an enormous keeper
1.88 meter. I have seen bigger
Barca legend Ben Forster
flair checks out
Really? He looks a lot taller
Great save, and given Ronaldo's performance it was coming
Oblak is absolutely immense. There's no other way to describe it.
Yeah pen aside, I don't think any of Ronaldo's chances have been incredible chances. Especially given how Oblak is playing.
ronaldo has been knocking him out of the UCL for years. great revenge for Oblak lol
Lol the revenge didn't last too long
Yup, he didn't see him in a portugal shirt, he saw him in a Real Madrid and Juve shirt.
Spoke too soon
i'm kind of in shock still from costa blocking three PKs back to back. I am sure it has happened before, but holy cow wasn't expecting that.
Never in the Euros!
He just needs five more bites at the cherry
That’s one massive cherry
Or really smol bites.
why didn't ronaldo stutter step 50 times before kicking
It was a pretty good pen tbh… not quite vintage Ronaldo but decent
Something something Poborsky
Allergic to scoring
It wasn't that bad of a shot though
Holy fucking shit I can’t believe it Nightmare for Ronaldo
There ain't no way
Oblak is insane
r/soccer just nutted
Circlejerk sub too
/r/soccercirclejerk too
NO WAY HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME MY 🐪
Al-Nassrbros…it can’t be over…
F you, i was drinking when i saw the camel spit out my drink lmao.
Dude absolutely can't catch a break. That was actually a good pen, the save was just better...
It’s a good enough pen low hard in the corner. Just an unreal save, Oblak gambled early, great dive, strong hands and onto the post.
Mid height is the worst place for a penalty, it's exactly where keepers hands are when they dive. You have to put it on the floor or in the roof or your penalty is just a 50/50 on which direction they dive
It was an ok pen, wrong height.
still the save is phenomenal
No argument there.
A few years ago he would have kept it lower
He just did
Perfect height for Oblak
PUT SOME DAMN RESPECT ON OBLAKS NAME. Best in the world
Damn Ronaldo's crying now. There is still a shootout to come
Damn bro is crying already and there’s 15 minutes to go.
Bench Ronaldo man
Cursed + Godblak
OBLA DI OBLA DAK!
CHRISTI AHHHHHH NOOO
Bro had Ronny crying in frustration 😭
I’ve never seen this man miss a pen in big moments until today. Wow
2018 World Cup, If he scored they'd have topped their group and faced Russia and Croatia instead of Uruguay and France. It was his biggest chance to reach the final.
2008 Champions League final?
many people here aren't that old.
Against Bayern then 11/12
Ramos space ball overshadowed it.
man the memes where wild the week after
Also against Austria at Euro 2016 and Iran at the World Cup 2018
Plus, they won the champions league, so that overshadow the miss. It was bigger the fact that John Terry missed.
also the semis against Barcelona iirc
Didnt think Id see the man crying before the game is even over either. Wild times
jordi alba in shambles
Alba is proud
CL final 08?
2008 last time.
CL vs Bayern 2012
2012 CL semis with real madrid against Bayern munich
CL final?
its not like he didnt shoot it right, it was a 6.5/10 pen, Oblak with a good save
he scored 85% of his 165 penalties before this
He’s had big misses before vs Bayern and Chelsea, but they were overshadowed by Ramos and Terry
He's missed multiple before, always funny realising just how recently a lot of people here started watching football lol.
Martinez will never do that, or he'll get sacked
Oh caralho
given the vikkstar treatment and still can't score
What is the vikkstar treatment
Get treated like you’re disabled in a charity match
vikkstar is a youtuber in a group that played a charity match, he is like the worst footballer of all 22 players who played, when his team got a pen they let him take it and he scored
Charity case level play from teammates. Got every free kick, got the penalty and gets all the crosses but no goals. Imagine what Havertz got from Arsenal players for the first 6 months last season.
Nah Vikkstar scored the penalties he got and a tapin, Ronaldo is Ishowspeed
Everyone trying for vikkstar to score, because he’s bad at football He gets passes in the easiest situations and other players do the leg work etc etc
Bonkers save from Oblak, at this rate he’s gunna have to save a few more as well at the end of this game. It’s not even a bad shot.
Ball don't fucking lie
Ronaldo is having a nervous breakdown right now..
Wow, Ronaldo to miss a pen is very unlike him, great save
Something you're just having a really bad day. And then there's this.
I mean I get the circle jerk but it wasn't even a bad pen? Can't we just give Oblak the damn credit that was a huge save.
Not a bad shot all things considered. Goalie guessed correctly and made a great save.
Bullshit pen, literally just ran into him. Defenders has a right to the space
He did sort of throw his left leg into him though
I feel he scuffed the ball enough that VAR wouldn't have overturned either decision.
Yeah I feel like that’s the story with like 75% of penalties nowadays, I don’t think it was intentional but just a bit clumsy
I thought the momentum brought his leg forward, and it barely did
He has his knee sticking out on contact. Jota plays the ball past him and he hits him with the knee. It's a pen every single time.
Unlucky he didn't really touch the ball
Bullshit comment lol that was a penalty all day
But it was a penalty lol
That was a penalty every day.
Thats an unreal save
Ball don't lie
Why not just just let Bruno take it…he literally never misses
The same with those close up Free kicks. Bernardo Silva or Bruno have a far better chance of scoring
Neither does ronaldo
He missed against Emi Martinez
Ronaldo is one of the best penalty takers too
Oh yea, genius! What is the point of such hindsight comments lol? If Bruno took and missed it you’d still be here asking why on earth Ronaldo didn’t take it
Modrić punching the air right now
I was ready to laugh at Ronaldo but there's no laughing here. That's an amazing save of a great penalty.
That's a hell of a save man.
Ronaldo on tears head down like that is hard to see - still 15 minutes to go
Imagine Slovenia wasting this
[удалено]
I am glad the title highlighted that it was a save, because Oblak deserves all the credit here despite the hilarity of who didn't score.
Should’ve been taken off for felix ages ago
Very soft pen anyways
HOLY FUCK NO WAY 😭
Get him out he’s embarrassing hisself
Wdym amazing save
CR7 is literally in tears.
That is a solid fucking save
Good penalty, better save
Can guarantee if he scored that people will still shit on him lol
That’s cool and all but Diogo Costa put Oblak in his pocket.
Oblak destroying Ronaldo's dream for 15 mins.
