The Slovenian shot-stopper stated that the team firmly supports their teammate, regardless of external reactions. "We all need to be united. Julian is here. He is with us in the team, and as long as he is with us, we will support him and want him to perform at his best," Oblak commented to DAZN.

"Unfortunately, this is a situation that is not pleasant for anyone, but we hope that everything will work out and at the end of the season, we can all be happy," added the Madrid goalkeeper. The situation escalated to the point where the club instructed Alvarez not to join his teammates in greeting the fans after the Villarreal match, to avoid further confrontation.
