Griezmann came on the pitch for the final 30-minutes of the win, and his every touch was booed by the Atletico supporters. The 27-year-old had scored twice in the Europa League victory over Marseille a few days previous, but fans took aim at him over his potential move to Barcelona.
However, he still had the support of his Atletico teammates.

Torres returned to his teammate and said, "We're not going to reproach you for anything" and told him how important he was to the team.
This struck a chord with Griezmann, who could be seen wiping tears from his eyes.
