Griezmann double takes Atlético through

Antoine Griezmann scored an objective in every half as Atlético ensured progress from Group C, leaving their adversaries to play for third place.

Two Antoine Griezmann objectives kept up Atlético Madrid's great home record in Europe and fixed a spot in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 with a diversion to save.

Regardless of knowing a draw would secure capability, Diego Simeone's side left nothing to risk as they managed ownership from the off. Regardless of their predominance, introductory force was practically stopped as previous Real Madrid midfielder Wesley Sneijder terminated only wide on ten minutes, yet that was in the same class as it got for the guests and Atlético were soon in front.

Captain Gabi earned ownership in Galatasaray's half and skimmed a cross into Griezmann's way, and the header was unerring. The Frenchman then constrained Fernando Muslera energetically from separation as the Rojiblancos looked to expand their lead, however they were not able add to that before the break.

Looking for an early objective to murder the diversion off, Yannick Carrasco was ruined by Muslera minutes after the restart and the meeting goalkeeper then indicated incredible reflexes to keep out a short proximity Koke volley.

There was little the Uruguayan could do 20 minutes into the second half as Gabi at the end of the day encouraged Griezmann, who discovered the back of the net from short proximity and guaranteed his side will meet Benfica to choose ahead of everyone else on matchday six.

Griezmann like confronting the Turkish champions. In the wake of scoring twice against Galatasaray on matchday one, he rehashed the trap tonight. A danger throughout the night, he demonstrated that regardless of being one of the littlest men on the pitch he has a stupendous jump as he fueled in Gabi's cross on 13 minutes before indenting his fourth objective of this UEFA Champions League crusade – all against Galatasaray.

Koke has not appreciated the best of begins to the season, battling for structure and wellness, yet his exhibitions over the recent weeks will have given Simeone a great deal of consolation. Taking after his match-winning presentation against Real Betis at the weekend, the 23-year-old inspired again with an eye-getting execution in the focal point of the recreation center and was unfortunate not to score as Fernando Muslera twice denied him in the second period. 


As he does each week, Atlético Madrid chief Gabi put in a movement amidst the recreation center, covering each piece of sod. The 32-year-old never gave Galatasaray a minute's peace, reliably squeezing high up the pitch to win back ownership. He who set the bar at an early stage by taking the ball 30 meters from objective before sustaining Griezmann for the opener before indicating snappy feet to set up the second.

There's no compelling reason to expound on our fate just yet. Galatasaray have quality players yet we made the amusement troublesome for ourselves. Our adversaries out-ran and out-battled us. We expected to respond in kind. In the event that you need to accomplish something in the Champions League, you have to expand your beat and set yourself up physically and rationally.
