Antoine Griezmann has admitted that Juventus were “superior on every level” after Atletico Madrid crashed out of the Champions League in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo fired a sensational hat-trick as Juventus beat Atletico 3-0 to turn their tie on its head and reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Late goals from from Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin had earned Atletico a 2-0 first-leg advantage, but Ronaldo headed Juve level with headers in either half and converted a late penalty to clinch a deserved 3-2 aggregate win.
And after the match Griezmann readily admitted that his side had been played off the park.
“We didn’t play the game we wanted to, it was a bad night and we made it easier for Juventus,” Griezmann told Sky Sport Italia.
“We are all disappointed, as we just didn’t play. I’m the first to say I didn’t do enough, our tempo was wrong and Juventus were superior on every level.
“Considering we won the first leg 2-0, we can’t say much. I don’t know what just happened, it reminded me a little of the Bayern Munich game, but that time we were able to make some adjustments.
“Tonight, Juve were superior on all levels.”
