Atletico Madrid striker Griezmann hails 6-0 rout of Celtic: We dream of big things here

Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann says they'll continue to dream big after their Champions League rout of Celtic.

Griezmann scored twice for the 6-0 win.

He later said: "We needed to start the game well, which is what was costing us, in the last games we entered asleep and it was difficult for us to turn the game around, this was different, it is true that the expulsion helped us, but the team played well.

"We believe that there is a game on Sunday, four days ago we lost in Las Palmas, we have to continue as we are doing, we can enjoy the victory in the Champions League but with our feet on the ground.

"We dream of big things, but we have to work for it."

He also said: "It would be a pride for me to be the top scorer, but the most important thing is to help the team, today it was my turn in the middle and to steal balls, help and get to the area.

"I'm trying to do my best in every situation that comes my way.

"I think that higher up, you are closer in the area, but whatever the team needs, the most important thing is my teammates and I will do the best I can in any position."
