Antonie Griezmann might have scored the only goal for Atletico Madrid last night but he was far from impressive. He was 'missing' in the game until the penalty was awarded to the hosts and was kept quiet by David Luiz with ease.

After that, Griezmann has one cameo appearance in the game when he along with Saul Niguez, Koke and Angel Correa threatened to score right at the very end of the first half. They combined so well that it left the Chelsea defence mesmerized and despite Courtois saving Niguez's shot, Koke could have converted it but failed to slot the ball in the open goal.

Greizmann wants to play for Manchester United but if this is the kind of performances he produces in big games, Jose Mourinho would not be making a move for him. The Red Devils are already linked with a move for Paulo Dybala and it won't be a surprise if they make a move for the Argentine over the Frenchman.
