Antoine Griezmann believes that Atlético’s victory over Porto, which allowed them to reach the Champions League round of 16, pushed the team into a derby against Real Madrid next Sunday.
“It was a turning point, especially for the players. We are going to play well against Real Madrid, we will do everything for ourselves, for the fans and for the club. We hope to play the perfect game, ”he said in statements published in the newspaper. mark…
When asked if João Felix was happy at the club, Griezmann recalled the Portuguese celebration after his triumph in Dragau: “I think yes, he is happy. We saw him celebrating the victory over Porto with the team. It is always difficult to stay on the bench, this has happened to me many times at Barcelona. You have to help the team as much as you can, and João has always done that. “
The French international, who returned to Atletico Madrid this season on loan from Barcelona, was also surprised by the Catalans’ elimination from the Champions League:
“It’s amazing, because this team has always managed to reach the 1/8 finals. There were a lot of changes in the club, Messi left, the coach changed, but it takes some patience and faith in the players. “
