In the second round of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid defeated Frankfurt 5-1 at home, and Griezmann made a contribution and reached the 200-goal milestone in Atletico Madrid's career. At the post-match press conference, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone praised the team's performance.

Match Analysis

"We played a very good game, and we had a good control from the beginning. This Champions League victory is very important."

Stadium atmosphere

"This is a historic moment. Whether it is the Calderon Stadium in the past or the Metropolitan Stadium now, fans always bring us great support. I hope we can give back to them with the word 'competition', which is what fans expect."

Team status change

" The team found a way to score goals, which brought confidence and points. We improved defensively and continued to improve on the offensive end. "

Griezmann's 200 goals

"I'm very grateful to Griezmann and his time at Atletico Madrid, his 200 goals were incredible. I still remember when he first came, he was a little short left winger, and we convinced him to play the midfielder, which made him eventually become the World Cup champion. When he returned to us again, his work attitude and the joy he brought to the team …The cheers of fans today… We should cherish the contribution he has brought to us and what he will give to the team in the future. Talent is regardless of age.”

Laspadori’s starting role

" Considering that we will have more possession, Laspadori can cut inside on the left. We put Griezmann, Alvarez and Laspadori together, while Gallagher and Barrios partnered in the midfield, which allowed us to play the way we wanted. ”

Growth of the team

"The team is improving. We need to maintain the same humility and belief and continue to let the players get in. For example, Baena today, because the substitution was a little late and the ball was not out of bounds, so he played less than expected. There are also Almada and Sollot... We need everyone's efforts."

Settings

"We are always looking for opportunities, and we think set pieces are very important on both ends of the offense and defense. In 2014, we scored a lot of key goals through set pieces."
