Griezmann, who overtook Luis Aragonés as the top scorer in the Champions, said: "I’m proud to be Atleti’s top scorer in the Champions."

For his part, Saúl stated: "Now we have to play the second leg match as if we hadn’t played this one."

In addition, Koke said: "The team has read the game very well tactically. When we had the ball, we counterattacked very fast with Gameiro, Carrasco and Griezmann. We have played a great match."

Finally, Filipe noted: “Our forwards are in a sweet spot and they have a very positive internal competition which makes them improve every day."
