Greizmann failed to inspire Atletico against Qarabag

The 10 men of Qarabag collected their first ever point in the Champions League by holding last season's semi-finalists Atletico Madrid. This Champions League season has gone from bad to worse for Diego Simeone's side as they have failed to replicate their good league form.

With 2 points from 3 games, they sit in 3rd place in Group C, behind Chelsea and AS Roma, and are yet to win a game this season. They lost to Chelsea 2-1 at home and drew the other game against Roma. While their own defence has done well, they haven't breached the opposition defence well enough and have scored just once in Europe this season.

They face an uphill task with 3 games remaining and an away trip to Stamford Bridge in November. Unless they play their best football in the next 3 games, last season semi-finalists could be demoted to the Europa League.
