Mandzukic bangs home hat-trick in Atletico Madrid Champions League win

Mario Mandzukic hit a superb hat-trick as Atletico Madrid thumped Champions League opponents Olympiakos.

Mandzukic's hat-trick against Olympiacos saw Atletico Madrid qualify in emphatic style for the last 16 with a 4-0 victory.

A dominant first half saw Atletico 2-0 up thanks to Raul Garcia's shambolic opener and Mandzukic's goal shortly before half-time.

Two second-half headers from Mandzukic led to a 4-0 scoreline which was no less than the Spaniards deserved and left them needing only a draw with Juventus in two weeks' time to top the group.
