Miguel Angel Moya celebrated another clean sheet as Atletico Madrid held out 0-0 at the Juventus Stadium.

The shot-stopper hasn’t conceded at all yet in the Champions League this season, as Jan Oblak was in goal for the 3-2 defeat to Olympiacos.

“Going through was our primary objective. As the Coach said, we didn’t play for the draw,” Moya told reporters.

Miguel Angel Moya celebrated another clean sheet as Atletico Madrid held out 0-0 at the Juventus Stadium.

The shot-stopper hasn’t conceded at all yet in the Champions League this season, as Jan Oblak was in goal for the 3-2 defeat to Olympiacos.

“Going through was our primary objective. As the Coach said, we didn’t play for the draw,” Moya told reporters.

“Then, in the last five minutes, the two teams saw the draw was good and it was foolish to risk it.

“We knew we’d have to endure a hard game. We sacrificed all game. We like to start well but when you don’t start well it doesn’t mean you’ll end up badly.

“It’s not only me that keeps the clean sheet. Everyone makes a great effort. It’s a story and hopefully it lasts. We like it a lot.”

Picking up a point in Turin means Atletico Madrid are Group A winners and will face one of the second-placed sides in the next round.

“I don’t have a preference for who we play next. Being top of the group gives you a lot of confidence.

“We’re into the best 16 and whoever we play will be very complicated.”
