While Atletico Madrid took on water on Wednesday on Benfica’s pitch, Antoine Griezmann, aligned at the forefront of the attack, was taken out at the break.
Atletico Madrid experienced a real nightmare in Portugal on Wednesday. Traveling to Benfica’s den for the second day of the Champions League, Antoine Griezmann’s teammates took to the water like rarely before finally losing 4-0 and thus suffering one of the worst defeats in the history of the Madrid club on the European scene. And again the bill would have been higher for the Colchoneros without Jan Oblak author of several parades….
Like all his teammates, Antoine Griezmann completely struggled in Lisbon. Without juice or inspiration, the French world champion foiled. For his defense, the Mâconnais had been lined up at the No. 9 position, surrounded by Angel Correa and Julian Alvarez. Without their master playing in midfield, the Madrilenians were never able to serve him near the goal and the Mâconnais tried to dezone, whether on the right flank of the attack or in the heart of the game, nothing happened.
The former Barcelona player missed his match to such an extent that he was forced to leave at half-time, replaced by Alexander Sorloth. He was certainly not the only one to pay the bill after a first period played in reverse since Rodrigo de Paul and captain Koke were also replaced at half-time, but Antoine Griezmann had the mask on the bench. touches in the second period. And all the more so as Atletico ultimately sank even more after the break since the score was only (0-1) at half-time.
