Antoine Griezmann Upset Atletico Defeated by Juventus

DBasia.news –  Atletico Madrid were helpless to resist the onslaught of the host, Juventus, in the second leg of the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday (3/13) early morning Western Indonesian Time. As a result, the aggregate advantage of the 2-0 goal could not be maintained by Atletico in Turin.

Juve who appeared in front of their supporters were able to appear crazy and successfully won with a landslide score 3-0 through a hat trick printed by the superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo in the 27th minute, 48 and 86. Massimiliano Allegri’s squad was confirmed to qualify for the quarter-finals after winning goal 3-2 on aggregate.

Responding to the defeat and the failure of his team to qualify for the quarter-finals, one of the Atleti star players, Antoine Griezmann could not hide his disappointment. Even the Frenchman was frustrated and could not explain what made his team fail to maintain excellence at the first meeting.

“Atletico Madrid did not display the performance we were supposed to show in this match. Tonight was a bad night. We also made everything feel easy for Juventus,” Griezmann said as quoted by Independent.

“We have won 2-0 in the first leg. There are not many things I can say. I also do not know what happened. Tonight, Juventus is truly superior and superior,” he added.

Atleti’s failure to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League is indeed very disappointing, especially since the 2017/18 season Diego Simeone’s squad has always been eliminated in the last 16 or the group stage.

Closing the conversation, the player who was targeted by Barcelona also admitted if Atleti’s performance in this match was not enough to bring them to the quarter-finals.

“I and my teammates naturally felt disappointed. I became the first person to admit that the performance displayed by Atleti was not enough in this match. The tempo of the match was also wrong. Juventus is very superior in all aspects,” the 27-year-old closed.
