Atletico will have to fight every second

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann said the team is ‘confident’ ahead of their trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the second leg of the Round of 16 on Tuesday. “We hope to win and go through; we have the team to do it” – said the Frenchman, but urged “, we will have to fight every second”. ‘A beautiful game to play. We know that a lot of fans are coming. For us, it is a very important match, where we must win to go through and hopefully it will be a great night. We are confident; we are playing well. Whoever is a player, whether starter or substitute, is doing very well. We must continue like this, and I am sure whoever comes on, the substitutes will be ready to contribute to what the team needs during the game and then get excellent performance from everyone. ”

The first leg ended up in a 1-1 draw.

“It is a very nice stadium. Champions League nights are always special, and now we hope to make it nice, win and go through. We have the team to do it. It will be a tough game where we will have to fight every second, every minute, and I am sure we have the potential to do it and be ready for that night. Getting minutes, which was important, going step by step because it was important not to relapse again. I think we are doing things very well, and I hope I can help the team as I have been doing on last games with goals and assist and thus win games.” Atletico are going into Tuesday’s match after a Friday’s 2-1 win over Cadiz in La Liga, while Manchester United beat Tottenham 3-2 with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick.
