Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak said it is “little sad” that Paris Saint-Germain target Filipe Luis possibly played his last game for the Spanish club.
Brazil international full-back Filipe Luis has been linked with Ligue 1 champions PSG and Atletico head coach Diego Simeone said he would be willing to accommodate the player’s wishes.
Former Chelsea defender Filipe Luis started and completed Atletico’s opening 1-1 LaLiga draw at Valencia on Monday.
Asked about Filipe Luis’ future, Oblak told reporters post-match: “It’s a little sad, but football is like that, let’s see what happens.
Valencia, though, managed to secure a share of the spoils via Rodrigo Moreno 11 minutes into the second half.
“It was a great game, we were better for almost all of the match, but in the end Valencia could have even taken the victory,” Oblak added.
“After Valencia scored things got complicated for us.
“They also brought two fresh forwards on and we began to feel that we had played 120 minutes.”
Valencia’s Rodrigo struck a fine second-half volley to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Atlético Madrid in an end-to-end clash as both sides got their La Liga campaigns under way on Monday.
Ángel Correa put the visitors ahead when he fired home in the 26th minute from Antoine Griezmann’s cunning pass, but Rodrigo volleyed home in the 55th minute after a rare mistake by defender Diego Godín, and the hosts had the better chances to win the match.
Gabriel Paulista hit the post for the hosts as Marcelino threw on new signings Kevin Gameiro and Michy Batshuayi. The Belgian striker put Daniel Wass through on goal in the 90th minute, but the midfielder was denied by Atlético keeper Jan Oblak.
