Atlético reacted, began to have more the ball and to generate chances. Griezmann put the 1-2 and 2-2 to certify several good occasions for Atlético. A debatable red to Griezmann in the second half changed the inertia of the game. Hermoso gave an unnecessary penalty that was transformed by Salah.

Individual performance

“This is my football, to turn, to face looking for the one for one looking for my teammates to score a goal. That is what I am doing and that is what they ask of me. We have to continue like this to create opportunities for the team to score more goals ”.
