Juan Musso
ATM
Ready for new season
Musso is back with Atletico Madrid and ready for the new season, the club announced.
Analysis: Musso did not play a single minute for Argentina at the World Cup, and he underwent medical exams at the Vithas Madrid Arturo Soria hospital along with the other returning internationals before beginning a specific training program tailored by the club's fitness staff ahead of rejoining the full group. The goalkeeper made 22 saves and conceded 13 goals across eight LaLiga appearances last season, keeping three clean sheets in a backup role behind Jan Oblak, and Musso is expected to continue serving as Atletico's primary understudy in goal as preseason wraps up.
Allows five to end season
Musso allowed five goals while recording three saves in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Villarreal.
Analysis: Musso had a rough day to end the campaign on Sunday, as the goalie allowed five goals in the brutal loss. He then ends the season with three clean sheets, 13 goals allowed and 22 saves in eight appearances this season. He did serve as backup all season to Jan Oblak, likely set for a similar role next campaign.
Four saves in victory
Musso recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win against Osasuna.
Analysis: Musso turned aside four of five Osasuna shots on goal Tuesday and made two clearances to help left Atletico Madrid to a 2-1 road victory. The starting appearance marked his seventh of the campaign and second in May, in relief of regular starter Jan Oblak. If Musso is selected ahead of Oblak again, he'll be in net Sunday when Atletico Madrid hosts Girona
Cruises to clean sheet
Musso registered no saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Valencia.
Analysis: Musso was forced into neither save nor clearance Saturday in Atletico Madrid's 2-0 win at Valencia. The veteran keeper has recorded a clean sheet in half of his six La Liga appearances (six starts) this season. Musso or regular starter Jan Oblak will assume the task of holding the Arsenal attack at-bay Tuesday when Atletico travel to London for the first leg of the Champions League Semifinal.
