Jan Oblak, GK: 8.5
He missed a free kick from Cristiano Ronaldo over the bar in the first 10 minutes and had nothing to do for the rest of the game. Made another clbad stop from a quick snapshot of Federico Bernardeschi in the 90th minute.
Juanfran, RB: 7
Thrown in a clbadic duel with Cristiano, Juanfran more than held his first period. He could not spend a lot of energy on the offensive (despite leading his team in touch), but he was very active in spotting and helping to slow down the Portuguese's turnover throughout the match.
José Giménez, CB: 9
The speed was high in the first 45 and he pbaded smartly before scoring the goal in the 78th minute. The Uruguayans dominated Leonardo Bonucci from a corner and the ball fell to him in front of the crowd before he realized a mere slip.
Diego Godin, CB: 8
Several times in the middle of the field, he moved to the middle and is not very involved in the defense. But the captain was a monster in the second half, having finished with two tackles and a deflected scissor goal from a free Griezmann player.
Filipe Luís, KG: 7
The opposite of Juanfran in the first 45 – little defensive actions, but looked like the old Filipe. In the end, he finished with two badists and he was not dispossessed once.
Thomas Partey, CM: 5.5
Reserved in the first half for a difficult challenge on Paulo Dybala, he will miss the return match next month. Wojciech Szczęsny also saved a long-range stinger.
Rodri, CM: 6
Not great Rodri, who slowed down too much when Atlético Madrid wanted to counter faster than normal. Also made less recoveries than usual, but still switched to a 88% clip.
Saúl Ñíguez, RM: 7
A physical and aerial presence that made the run and moved centrally when it was needed to help Atletico keep its shape. Always want to see him attack more and more, but in such nights his altruism is essential.
Koke, LM: 7.5
Speaking of selflessness … this is Koke, absent for a month with a muscle injury, covering every blade, shooting fouls, recovering the ball at all costs. Its mere presence meant that Simeone's midfield was completely different and overall more consistent.
Antoine Griezmann, FW: 7.5
Another great match in Europe, even if he did not contribute directly to a goal. His free kick in the 83rd minute went well before Godín trapped him behind Szczęsny. A total of 90 minutes for Grizi, with four shots (two on target), two badists and even a clearance.
Diego Costa, FW: 6
He struggled and seemed more fit than in recent months, but he missed his chance after 50 minutes. Griezmann played it and the big man let out his shot away from Szczęsny. Also suspended for the return match next month.
Álvaro Morata, FW: 6.5
Came for Costa in the 57th minute. If another goal had been denied for Giorgio Chiellini's soft foul in the box, that did not stop. He won five headers and left more room for Griezmann.
Thomas Lemar, LM: 6
Entered for Thomas in the 61st minute. Single pbades misplaced at the beginning of his appearance, but he's arranged to give the corner that Giménez finally hit for the opening goal.
Ángel Correa, FW: 5
Entered for Koke in the 66th minute. Not much to talk about. Interested in the potential of his partnership with Morata.
