Griezmann: “It was a very important match"

Griezmann, who scored for the first time at the Vicente Calderón, was pleased to achieve the victory in a match of great importance. "The fact is we were eager to take the field and earn the three points because it was a very important match. I was also eager to play a good match, give it all on the field and I knew if I created opportunities, the goal would come." he said.

Juanfran confessed to the microphones of Canal + that the trust Simeone placed in them at the end of the first half in the changing room was one of the keys to the thrashing. "At half time, our coach has told us to keep attacking, that we would ultimately score, and the goals have finally arrived from the people at the front."

For his part, Koke did not want to assess the victory of Olympiacos against Juventus. "We look at ourselves, we need to win. If we win the matches that we have to play, we’ll classify," he said.

Furthermore, Saúl admitted that Atlético’s fans are always crucial because they provide something extra that makes them want to give their all on the pitch. "We know that the fans are always with us and the truth is you notice when they cheer, the team changes gear. They help a lot, we can only thank them and ask them to keep doing it," he pointed out.

Finally, Siqueira assured that the changing room was aware of the need to attack before starting the match. "Today was a game in which we knew the opponent would play a lot on the inside and that the wingers would be important when we tried to score from the wings," the Brazilian concluded.
