"Eleven players start one match and another 11 start another, but we are all part of the team, and that is where the strength of the group lies. The players who don't start do very well. The other day it was [Alexander] Sorloth; [on Saturday], it was Griezmann, and we have to keep everyone engaged in understanding that we are all part of the team."
"Our idea is that we are all part of the team, It speaks well of them because they are prepared. We are a team, and the team is all of us. Eleven players start, 10 and the goalkeeper, and then there are five to help. We are all in this together, and they are responding accordingly to what we need."
Atletico Madrid beat Levante 3-1, with Manu Sanchez cancelling out Adrian de la Fuente's own goal before Antoine Griezmann came off the bench to score twice. Griezmann's first goal arrived 28 seconds after his introduction, the fastest substitute goal in LaLiga since Borja Mayoral's 26-second strike in February 2015. The victory ended Atletico's run without a win against Levante since June 2020 and extended the club's LaLiga winning streak to four. Squad mentality, attitude, and substitutes' preparedness were highlighted. Atletico are now level on points with Barcelona. Upcoming fixtures include Getafe and Inter in the Champions League.
