Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, managed to defeat Leipzig 2-1 in a game in which they fell behind. Griezmann finished the match with 1 goal and 1 assist. Atletico had 3 times more shots than Leipzig but most of them were not on target.
Atalanta was the winner of the Europa League last season and their performance was very great as they had a very more consistent gameplay last season. They’re really deserving to also be in the champions league this season after their great performance last season that earn them the Europa League trophy. I may not be too surprised to see Arsenal drawing this match, they were not playing just with a mediocre team, they needed to put that effort if they really wanted to win that match. I won’t say their performance was poor, they really tried their best because Atalanta was able to feel the pressure in the match and knew they were either not going to win that match easily if at all they want to.
