Champions League: Atlético leaves Europe through the back door, “we don’t deserve anything” assumes Griezmann
One win, two draws, and three defeats: Atlético de Madrid's record is as ignominious as it is unyielding. Already assured of missing the Champions League knockout stages after a draw against Bayer Leverkusen that ended with a dramatic penalty whistled after the match and missed (2-2), the Colchoneros were defeated again this Tuesday evening against FC Porto (2-1) and finished last in group B.A fourth-place finish means that the Spaniards will not even be granted entry to the Europa League, a privilege reserved for third-place finishers and, in the case of group B, Bayer, who conceded a draw to Bruges (0-0). "We didn't deserve to qualify for the round of 16 or the Europa League," Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann admitted helplessly after the game on Movistar+'s microphone. If you can only win one game in the group stage, you have earned it. We must now shake our heads and close our mouths.
"I just want to thank the fans," said the French striker, who recently confirmed his move to Atlético. For assistance both inside and outside the stadium. They do not.We need to get our asses moving. We are a tough team to play against if we believe in ourselves and work hard... If we all follow the coach in the same direction. It is an honor to work for the coach and play for this club, but we must demonstrate it on the field."
Atlético de Madrid finished bottom of their Champions League group for the first time in their history, finishing third in La Liga behind Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The last time the Colchoneros were released in the C1 group stage, they were returned to C3... and won. It happened in the 2018 final against Marseille.
