Goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a series of outstanding saves to help Atletico Madrid hold Real Madrid to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday.
In a repeat of last season's final, cup holder Madrid enjoyed most of the possession and virtually all of the chances _ only to leave without a goal and with everything still to do in next week's second leg at home in the Santiago Bernabeu.
The draw in very windy conditions at Atletico's Vicente Calderon stadium meant that coach Diego Simeone's side has been unbeaten in all seven derby matches this season against Madrid _ winning four and drawing three.
His team's excellent defensive record also remained intact. Atletico has not conceded a goal at home in the Champions League since a 4-1 win over AC Milan in March last year.
