THE FRENCH STRIKER OPENED THE SCORING WITH A GOAL AT THE START OF THE MATCH

Griezmann: "We took advantage of the chances"

Atlético’s striker noted the difficulty of scoring at Anoeta and now he stresses the need to "rest well and be ready" for the next matches against Astana and Valencia at the Vicente Calderón.

Antoine Griezmann returned to Anoeta, the stadium of the club that strengthened his training as a player, and Atlético de Madrid added three very important points with a first goal in the form of artwork from the Frenchman. "We knew that it was going to be a complicated match. They are strong at Anoeta and we had to take advantage of the few chances to score that we had and so we did." 

The French striker also scored last season in San Sebastian and, like then, avoided any gesture of joy. "I will never celebrate a goal against the club that gave me everything," he said. 

Our team returns to the League after the break with a win and begins a week with two other commitments – against Astana in the Champions League and against Valencia in the League - of great importance. "Every footballer wants to have games every three days. That's good because it means that you play in the European competition. Now, we have to rest well and be ready," Atlético’s striker said.
