Antoine Griezmann was a new addition to Atlético de Madrid‘s recent game. The Frenchman, after putting in a lot of hard work as he mentioned in a later interview, played in the match against Inter Milan to help his team advance to the quarterfinals. It was a crucial game for the colchoneros, and he even scored the goal to tie the game 1-1.
After the game, Griezmann talked about his recovery on Movistar: “I knew today was important, I had put in a lot of effort to be able to play. I spent many mornings, afternoons, and even nights at home working with the physios David Marrón and with Pitillas today. It was a key moment. We were aiming for this day, we tried against Bilbao but I couldn’t even step on the field.”
During the extra time break, he requested a substitution because he couldn’t continue. The Little Prince admitted, “In the end, I was struggling because my legs were hurting due to poor support, but it was crucial for the team, and we had to be there.”
One of the uncertainties during the session was whether Griezmann would join the rest of the players in training. He did participate in training like the rest of the team, but it’s not confirmed if he will play against Barcelona.
Diego Pablo Simeone mentioned that he will address this uncertainty on Sunday, as he stated in a press conference: “Tomorrow we have one more day. The game is at night. Tomorrow at noon, I will meet with him, ask how he’s feeling, and based on that, we will decide what’s best for the team and for him.”
