Griezmann's daunting penalty (video)

Antoine Griezmann distinguished himself despite himself this Thursday as part of the Coupe du Roi.

Facing Sevilla FC in the quarter-final of the Spanish Cup, Atlético de Madrid missed the opportunity to open the scoring in the first half hour of play.

At the 26e minute, Antoine Griezmann had the opportunity to convert the penalty whistled in favor of the Matelassiers. A boon missed by the French striker, who slipped on his footing and sent his shot into the stands.

A real gag scene which does not prevent Atlético from dominating the debates for the moment. At stake is a place in the last four of the competition with Mallorca, Bilbao and Real Sociedad.
