Arsenal 1-1 Atletico Madrid: 5 Talking Points

#4 Antoine Griezmann steps up

The Frenchman clinched the equalizer in the 82nd minute of the game

If Oblak's heroic efforts kept Atletico in the tie, Antoine Griezmann's composed goal might have just helped them have their noses in front. The 82nd-minute goal from the French forward felt more like a winner than an equalizer. It took the winds out of the Arsenal sails and helped the Spanish team clinch a favourable result from the match, despite being down to ten men through 90 percent of it.

His effort on the day might become the decisive moment of the tie going forward, as the crucial away goal has helped Madrid go back to Wanda Metropolitano with something substantial.

The 27-year-old retained his composure to score his goal, right from receiving a long-ball from his half to depositing it into the net over a tumbling Shkodran Mustafi.
