“I worked many mornings, afternoons, and even nights to be here today”

Antoine Griezmann was one of the main characters of the match after returning to the eleven and scoring the tying goal. A goal that gave the team hope after receiving a 0-1 blow. After the game the French spoke to Movistar.

Epic success

“I am very happy. This is Atleti, you might be used to it, in the end there is no quiet game. “We have to fight until the end.”

The penalty shootout

“I experienced it with trepidation, because the last penalty shootout I experienced was at the end of the World Cup and we lost. A little nervous. The players have a lot of confidence to shoot, and then we have an incredible goalkeeper. I think he finally won the penalty shootout.”

recovery

“I know it’s important today, I made a lot of effort to play. Many mornings, afternoons and even nights at home working to be with the physios David Marrón, with Pitillas today and this is an important date. We aimed for that date, we tried against Bilbao but I didn’t even step in. Now, in the end, I bring my legs because I have a bad support and some actions hurt me, but it is very important for the team and we have to be there.

Possible rivals

“We don’t think about that, the Professor gave us two days. Now it’s time to get back to full strength to get there on Sunday. But I think it doesn’t matter who it is because we are tough rivals. Now we go into the quarterfinals with a lot of confidence.”

Stadium atmosphere

“The fans have been at that level for a long time. And we failed, but it was not on purpose. We give it our all, in the end we see in the results that we are a very different team here. And that’s thanks to the fans because they’re pushing. There is an incredible atmosphere. Now we see it again. We will definitely see it on Sunday because this entertainment is non-stop. We’ve seen it. They have a full stadium from eight o’clock, and it’s a joy for any player to play for a fan like this.
