Antoine Griezmann may have been robbed of two major finals last year by his Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo. However, after a memorable year with both France and Atletico Madrid on a personal level, he has truly redefined his status as one of the best in the business.

The Frenchman, scorer of the first leg for Atletico, was back in it again.

Griezmann was harshly denied a goal for offside midway through the match, while the replays showed the goal was completely legitimate and should have stood. Then after hassling the Barca defenders late in the game, he laid a perfectly woven pass for Gamiero to score just minutes after his compatriot missed a penalty.

The Rojiblancos winger has been one of the best signings of the club in years, and despite failing to find the net here, put on an admirable show.
