#5 Anonymous Antoine
Trending
Antoine Griezmann started the game brightly, but after the first twenty minutes, he was hardly visible on the pitch. A large part of that was down to the fact that Bayern kept the ball and passed it around so well that Atletico just could not get a feel of possession.
Even when they did, Bayern players swarmed around them, and the hurried passes were only going out of play.
But could the star Frenchman have done a little more? The four midfielders – Gabi, Saul, Koke and Gaitan – were trying their best and despite that, were not able to get near Bayern, as they were reduced to chasing shadows. In that scenario, either Griezmann or Carrasco should have dropped a little bit deeper and added numbers and steel to the Atletico midfield.
In the end, all that Griezmann and Carrasco were doing was chasing long aimless balls against the strength and aerial abilities of Hummels and Alaba.
But in truth, a little bit was his own doing, but how good Bayern were was a huge factor in his level of performance on the night.
