He had gone three straight games without a shot or a chance created prior to this contest but will go into a game versus Barcelona on Sunday full of confidence after playing a vital creative role in this huge win for his side.

ImpactGriezmann scored in the first half after returning to the lineup from three weeks out with an ankle injury. He was clinical in attack with two shots on target and thee chances created on his comeback, but his status for the game against Barcelona on Sunday is up in the air after playing 105 minutes and having to come off injured in extra time. If he is forced to miss out, Memphis Depay would be next up to replace him in the starting XI.

Memphis Depay - Massive display off the benchDepay scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 (5-3) penalty shootout victory over Inter Milan.
ImpactDepay was named to the bench for the first time in four appearances but responded by taking a season-high six shots, culminating in his sixth goal of the year, as Atletico chased an equalizer on aggregate versus Inter in the second half. He will go into a match with Barcelona on Sunday full of confidence after this performance but he may find himself playing reduced minutes with Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann still ahead of him in the pecking order at the striker position.

Lautaro Martinez - Relatively quiet in defeatMartinez had three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 (5-3) penalty shootout defeat to Atletico Madrid.
ImpactInter's captain took three shots despite being on the pitch for the full 120 minutes as Atletico made a point of denying him much space in the final third. He also chipped in with two chances created along with one interception and three clearances defensively in what amounted to a fairly disappointing outing for the striker. He faces a Napoli side next time out that is without a clean sheet in nine matches. Martinez has also not gone more than two games without a goal or assist this season and figures to respond with a strong performance at the first opportunity.
