After two finals, a semi-final, and a quarter-final in the past four seasons in the UEFA Champions League, Atletico Madrid failed to qualify for the last 16 this season. Their only win of the campaign came against Roma at the Wanda Metropolitana as Deigo Simeone's side finished behind Chelsea and Roma in the group stage.

Antoine Griezmann's poor form has mirrored Atletico Madrid's disappointing Champions League campaign. He was a subject of constant speculation throughout the summer transfer window and his performances never hit the peak this season.

In six appearances, the Frenchman has scored only twice and created 2 more for his teammates. The 26-year-old missed too many chances in front of goal and was never able to provide a creative spark for his side.
