Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak was delighted helping the club reach the Champions League quarterfinals.

Oblak's shootout heroics saw Atletico defeat Inter Milan in the round of 16 after the aggregate score had finished at 2-2.

He later said: "I always say that penalty shoot-outs, in the end, they are a bit about luck because you have to pick the right side. You have to save the ball and I think if the player hits it perfectly, it's impossible to save.

"Luckily, today I could save them, but what is important is the victory and that we are through to the quarters.

"The atmosphere was fantastic as always at home. The fans, the stadium: they never disappoint. We may fail, but they don't, and again today they have been decisive. They helped us a lot."
