Antonie Griezmann analysed tomorrow’s Champions match against Benfica in the official press conference. The Frenchman warns of the danger of the Portuguese. "It’s a complicated game, Benfica has players that can create danger at any time, they’re very good on the counter attack so we’ll have to be careful at the back and then do the passing game at the top and try to win, because we can be first," he said. 

The red and white '7' was categorical in his statements, our team goes to Lisbon for the first place. "We want to win every game and try to be at the very top and tomorrow we’ll go out to win to be first. It's always special to play in Portugal, every Champions game is special, every player wants to play them and when you start to play football you dream of playing in the Champions League. We face the match with great enthusiasm and very eager to play it," he noted.

The international said that as the rounds go by, he’s feeling better on the playing field and that the new additions are starting to work. "New players came, they are improving as they play, we know each other better. The results that we are achieving give us more confidence. We are a difficult team to score against, strong at the back and hopefully this continues tomorrow," he concluded.
