Griezmann will be considering himself unlucky to not find the back of the net and register an assist in this game. The French International found Costa who ran 40 yards from the middle only to slice the ball wide.

A few minutes later, he combined well with Koke to play a one-two. Atletico Madrid' number 7 tried to loop the ball over Szczesny, but the Polish shot-stopper was aware of his doing and got a fingertip to divert it to the crossbar before Chiellini cleared the ball away in the second half.

Despite playing as a second striker, Griezmann made plenty of defensive work to ease the burden on Juanfran in the right flank. Besides, his intelligent passing and ability to beat players and pick out passes made him a danger man for the Old Lady. He was the brighter spot in Atletico Madrid's attack.
