Antoine Griezmann addresses Orlando City transfer collapse as Atletico Madrid star explains why he opted against MLS move

Robin Le Normand - Scores in Tuesday's win Le Normand scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Le Normand found the back of the net in the 22nd minute Tuesday, a goal which barely crossed the line and gave his side a shocking 4-0 lead early. It was the only shot he took in the match, and it marked his second goal in the UCL this season. He also won one tackle and made four clearances as he completed the full 90 minutes for the first time in the UCL since Oct. 21.

Marcos Llorente - Bags opener Tuesday Llorente scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 5-2 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Llorente opened up the scoring Tuesday off a Julian Alvarez assist following a slip by Spurs' goalkeeper. It came on one of his three shots in the match, and it marked his fourth goal in the Champions League this season. He also won two tackles and blocked one shot before he was subbed off in the 69th minute for Alexander Sorloth.

Antoine Griezmann - Goal and assist vs Spurs Griezmann scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Tuesday's 5-2 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Griezmann was involved in two goals Tuesday, just his second match this season (all competitions) with multiple goal contributions. He scored an impressive goal in the 14th minute following a slip by a Spurs defender, then assisted Julian Alvarez on the fast break in the 55th minute to give his side a commanding 5-1 lead. It was an impressive performance in the team's biggest match of the season thus far and is exactly the reason why the manager has managed Griezmann's minutes this season. Griezmann will look to put a bow on this tie next Wednesday in London.

Julian Alvarez - Two goals and an assist Tuesday Alvarez scored two goals and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Tuesday's 5-2 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Alvarez was involved in three of his side's goals Tuesday, his third match this season (all competitions) with three goal contributions. He assisted Marcos Llorente's opener in the 6th minute following a mistake by Antonin Kinsky, then scored perhaps the easiest goal of his career in the 15th minute off another mistake by Kinsky which allowed Alvarez to literally walk the ball into the net. Alvarez wasn't done though as he finished off a wonderful fast break opportunity in the 55th minute to give his side a commanding 5-1 lead. Alvarez will look to finish off Spurs next Wednesday in the second leg.

Jan Oblak - Concedes twice in win Oblak had three saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 5-2 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Oblak conceded two goals Tuesday, good strikes by Pedro Porro in the 26th minute and then Dominic Solanke in the 76th minute. With so much chaos happening on the other end of the pitch, he was still able to earn the victory with ease despite conceding multiple goals. This big lead heading into the second leg in London means that Spurs will be throwing everything into the attack, so Oblak is set to be under some pressure next Wednesday.

Pablo Barrios - On bench against tottenham Barrios (thigh) is on the bench for Tuesday's Champions League game versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Barrios is available for the first time since suffering a muscle injury in early February. Prior to that issue, the midfielder was a regular starter and a key ball distributor for Atleti, generating 231 accurate passes, nine chances created and one assist over his last five La Liga or UCL appearances. His eventual participation will likely push Johnny Cardoso and Koke to reduced roles.

Pablo Barrios - Makes squad list Barrios (thigh) is in the squad list for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Tottenham, the club posted.

Impact Barrios has been back in full team training with the squad for weeks and finds his name on the roster for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Tottenham. The midfielder was also listed ahead of the Copa del Rey matchup with Barcelona before ultimately missing the final matchday squad, so it remains to be seen if he will actually suit up this time. Once he's fully back up to speed, Barrios is expected to regain his usual starting role in the center of the park for the Colchoneros.

Matteo Ruggeri - Assists game-winning goal Ruggeri assisted once to go with six crosses (four accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-2 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Ruggeri delivered a perfect cross that was nodded home by Nicolas Gonzalez, and the forward, who had come off the bench, gave Atletico the victory at the 81st minute. Ruggeri isn't much of an attacking threat despite his full-back role, though he can create havoc when he pushes forward with confidence. This was his third assist in 19 appearances (15 starts) in league play.

Jan Oblak - Gives up two goals in win Oblak made one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win against Real Sociedad.

Impact It'd be extremely harsh to blame Oblak for the goals he conceded in this win, as both were nearly unstoppable shots from outside the box. The goalkeeper is not posting the same elite numbers he'd been posting in past seasons; he has allowed multiple goals in four of his last six outings across league and UCL play, while posting just three clean sheets over his last 10 games in both competitions. That said, in LaLiga alone, Oblak has 10 clean sheets in 26 starts while allowing 25 goals.

Nico Gonzalez - Changes game off bench Gonzalez scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Real Sociedad.

Impact Gonzalez didn't start but proved to be absolutely decisive off the bench. He gave Atletico a 2-1 lead with a stylish finish after a backheel assist from Antoine Griezmann, but he also scored the game-winner after Real Sociedad had previously clinched a late equalizer. Gonzalez has three goals this season, and all three have come in LaLiga. This was, without a doubt, his best performance of the season. With 15 starts out of 19 league outings, Gonzalez might have done enough to return to the starting XI sooner rather than later.

Antoine Griezmann - Delivers clever assist Griezmann assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Real Sociedad.

Impact Griezmann set up Atletico's second goal with a clever assist, as his backheel allowed Nicolas Gonzalez to slot an easy shot past Alejandro Remiro from very close range. Griezmann is no longer a regular starter for Atletico, and his numbers have suffered as a result. In 24 league outings and six starts, Griezmann has only six goals and one assist.

Jose Maria Gimenez - Sets up opening goal Gimenez assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Real Sociedad.

Impact Gimenez's header from close range allowed Alexander Sorloth to break the deadlock before the fifth minute. Gimenez can be a threat in set-piece situations, but outside of the occasional goal or assist, he doesn't do much offensively. His upside is almost strictly tied to what he can bring to the table from a defensive standpoint.

Alexander Sorloth - Scores in win over Sociedad Sorloth scored one goal to go with seven shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Real Sociedad.

Impact Sorloth found the back of the net within the first five minutes with a volley following an assist from Jose Maria Gimenez. The Norwegian striker has three goals in his last three Liga starts and looks increasingly comfortable in a starting role regardless of who starts next to him upfront. Sorloth has 10 goals in 26 appearances (16 starts) this season.

Pablo Barrios - Trains Monday, could return Tuesday Barrios (thigh) was spotted training with the team Monday and could be an option for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Tottenham, according to David G. Medina from Marca.

Impact Barrios has been back in full team training for several weeks and continues to inch closer to a return to the matchday squad following the recovery of a thigh injury. The midfielder could make that comeback in Tuesday's Champions League clash against Tottenham if he ultimately gets the green light to feature. Until then, Koke and Johnny Cardoso are expected to handle duties in central midfield for the Colchoneros.

Rodrigo Mendoza Martinez Moya - Suffers ankle sprain Mendoza (ankle) is out for the time being due to an ankle sprain, according to his club.

Impact Mendoza had to leave the field early Saturday and has an answer after some further testing, with the midfielder suffering from an ankle sprain. This will likely leave the midfielder to miss a week or two of action, potentially remaining out until after the international break. He has started in their past two games, so this will force a change, with Johnny Cardoso likely to return to a starting role.
