Griezmann: ‘Milan were superior’

Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann admitted Milan ‘were superior’ in the Rossoneri’s 1-0 win at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Rossoneri had to wait until the 87th minute before Junior Messias decided the game, but Griezmann felt the visitors deserved the win on Wednesday.

“They studied us well,” Griezmann said, according to Il Corriere dello Sport. “Our match plan didn’t work. Milan were superior.

“We just have to improve and hope to do better in the last match of the group.”

Milan are third in the group, tied on four points with Atletico Madrid, who face FC Porto in the next round of fixtures.

A draw between Atleti and Porto would be the best result for Milan, who need to win against Liverpool to have a chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.
