Jan Oblak, the goalkeeper for Atletico Madrid, expressed his great frustration following the heavy 3-0 defeat against Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish La Liga on Sunday.

He stated in comments after the match that he feels the team did not perform at the required level in the tournament, saying they "seem to have given up on competing for the title," and that the team is not playing to its full potential in the matches.

Oblak added that losing a match like this should not happen, and that the team suffered from a decline in focus and competitive spirit, which was reflected in their performance on the field. He emphasized that Atletico deserved nothing but a loss based on the course of the game.

These statements come amid the team's fluctuating results in the league, after achieving positive outcomes in the Copa del Rey but struggling in the domestic championship.

The goalkeeper's words reveal a sense of concern within the team's locker room, especially since Atlético had hoped to achieve consistent results in La Liga. However, the loss to Rayo, who struggled to escape the relegation zone, highlights a gap in performance compared to stronger competitors.

The 3-0 loss to Rayo causes Atletico to drop in the standings and increases the pressure on the players and the coaching staff led by Diego Simeone, amid questions about their ability to compete for domestic titles this season.
