Antoine Griezmann - Takes three shots versus Barcelona Griezmann had three off-target shots, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Barcelona.

Impact Griezmann wasn't on his best day but still was one of the most active players from his team on the attacking end. Accuracy wasn't there for the forward, though, but his numbers for the season remain spectacular as he has 13 goals over 19 appearances in all competitions so far, being on pace to post one of his best campaigns of recent years. Up next for Griezmann is Sunday's clash against Almeria.

Jan Oblak - Beaten once against Barcelona Oblak made one save and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Barcelona.

Impact Oblak did his best to stop Joao Felix when the striker appeared unmarked in front of him but the finish was simply perfect, going over the goalkeeper before finding the back of the net for what ended up being the lone goal of the match. The goalkeeper is seeing his numbers getting worse over the last few years and right now he looks on pace to have one of his worst campaigns since joining Atletico. He'll try to bounce back during next Sunday's clash against Almeria.

Nahuel Molina - Plays first half vs Barca Molina (undisclosed) started at right-back and played 45 minutes in Sunday's loss to Barcelona. He finished with one shot on target, one cross and two fouls drawn.

This means he should continue to be available for selection, and he is likely to remain on the right side of the defense when Atletico takes on Almeria on Sunday.
