Griezmann steals the show in post-game celebrations

Antoine Griezmann went from orchestrating his teammates from the middle of the Atlético pitch to directing those around it following his side’s win over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg.

The player, who is set to leave the club in the summer to join Orlando City in MLS, saw the Champions League dream kept alive despite Atleti losing on the night; the 2-goal advantage from the first leg was enough to see them into the final four of Europe’s elite tournament.

And he will have another shot at glory this weekend, as Simeone’s team take on Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final in Seville.
