They were right: Simeone had to leave, Griezmann should not have played the final ...

At the height of the nonsense, it turns out that Atlético had to have left their best player out of the most important game of the season because the director of institutional relations, the president and a player from another club recognized contacts and even assumed their signing

Thankfully, the club did not even consider the option, because you never know what would have happened without Griezmann on the pitch. Yes you know what happened to him: the '7' gave an exhibition and Atlético won his third Europa League. Something similar could be said about Cholo, whom they blamed for not winning titles as if they were not all played against the two most powerful teams in the world.

It became clear that Dimitri Payet is not one of the players who believe in superstitions. The great French midfielder touched the cup just by jumping to the grass. Tradition says that it gives bad luck, but he gave tradition so much. He ended up injured at half an hour and without a cup. Maybe next time he thinks ...

The first action of the match was most striking: Olympique de Marseille ignored the ball and threw it directly outside. Next, the French team went in block to the side where the ball had come out to press Atlético's serve. A curious way to try to hurt the opponent.

One team had Griezmann and the other did not. With this touch, the Frenchman beat Mandanda to make the 0-1. It was the first that Atlético had, but that's the way Antoine is. It does not need more.

Olympique de Marseille forgot a basic principle against Atlético: conceding as little as possible because the rojiblanco team does not give away anything. In the 21st minute the team of Rudi García was very wrong and the play ended in a goal, as it could not be otherwise. The pass of Mandanda, in the middle, was dangerous, and the control of Anguissa was terrible. Gabi stole and left it to Griezmann, who in the hand to hand marked with simplicity.

Payet left injured to the average. The Frenchman left crying and that gesture hurt the whole football world. The detail of Griezmann with his selection partner, pretty.

Every champion has to have his dose of luck. The first big occasion of the match came very soon and it was Olympique de Marseille. Germain sent her very deviated after a combination between Thauvin and Payet and a good pass from the '10' Marseille team. Much later, when the match was already 0-2, Marseille had the opportunity to get into the game and put a lot of pressure in the last 10 minutes, but Mitroglou's header hit the post.

It was the final of Antoine Griezmann. If he had any outstanding debt with the finals, he charged them with a stellar performance. His second goal was crack. He waited and waited until Mandanda overcame and stung her. Beautiful. Do not go, Monsieur Antoine.
