A great last dance for Griezmann. Atlético Madrid took a big step towards the semi-finals of the Champions League by winning 2-0 on Barça's pitch on Wednesday April 8

This quarter-final first leg changed in the 44th minute, when Barcelona's Pau Cubarsi was sent off for a foul in the last defender position on Julian Alvarez. Alvarez did himself justice on the free kick, placing a masterful shot into the top corner (1-0, 45th). Alexander Sorloth increased the score in the 70th minute (2-0).

The return match in Madrid is scheduled for next Tuesday. The winner of this double confrontation will face either Arsenal or Sporting de Portugal in the semi-final.
