The French striker of Atlético de Madrid, Antoine Griezmann, said on Tuesday that he “really wanted to show that he was here” after assisting the winning goal against Manchester United 1-0.
“Today I wanted to show that I was here to help the team and both in defense and attack I played a very good match and so did the others,” Griezmann told the Movistar+ platform.
The French striker, recently returned from a long injury, assisted for the goal of Renan Lodi, who put Atlético into the Champions League quarterfinals.
“We did a lot of work defensively and Jan (Oblak) had two or three that stopped very well. It's the way to go,” added the French striker.
“Atleti saw a very strong, very solid, compact Atleti, eager to show that we can play these matches and very happy to be here,” concluded Griezmann.
