Antoine Griezmann was the star of the night at the Metropolitano

Eintracht Frankfurt entered Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League group stage riding high after a commanding win over Galatasaray. But any momentum they had was brutally halted by Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital.

Antoine Griezmann was the star of the night at the Metropolitano, bagging a clinical brace as Los Rojiblancos ran riot. His first strike — a composed finish inside the box — was not just crucial in breaking the deadlock, but historic: it marked his 200th goal for Atletico, further cementing his legacy under manager Diego Simeone.

Eintracht, who had looked so composed in their opening fixture, simply had no answer to Atletico's high press and fluid attacking movement. The German side struggled to cope with the intensity, often resorting to long balls and hopeful clearances as Madrid’s midfield dictated the tempo from start to finish.
