Griezmann: I am so pleased to play at Atletico Madrid

Antoine Griezmann reiterated his love of playing for Atletico Madrid after scoring his 20th Champions League goal for the club in the 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund.

Diego Simeone's side were hammered 4-0 by Dortmund on matchday three, but returned to form in style at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday.

Saul Niguez got them up and running in the 33rd minute and, after a series of quality saves by Roman Burki, Griezmann was on hand to wrap up the points late on.

And the France forward, who publicly rejected a move to Barcelona in the close-season to sign a new deal with Atleti, spoke of his adoration for the club he has played for since 2014.
