Atlético de Madrid end a run of three successive away defeats in the UEFA Champions League, while three of their last four wins home and away in the competition have seen them come from behind.

Antoine Greizmann’s assist for Atlético de Madrid’s winner was his 50th goal involvement in the UEFA Champions League (37 goals, 13 assists), becoming the fourth Frenchman to reach that total after Karim Benzema (117), Thierry Henry (75) and Kylian Mbappé (73).
