"He's always a game-changer, with a different level of quality than the rest; talent never fades. We need him. "How much? It depends on how much the team gives him, the needs that the coach sees in this case, and what he can contribute. Because when he's playing well, he always brings important things to the team.""
"I take it one game at a time, trying to focus on [Sunday's] opponent with maximum concentration, and from there, we'll focus solely on the match," he added. "It's a match where we can be back with our fans, who we haven't seen for a month. We need everyone's support; we're eager to play a good game."
Antoine Griezmann has scored six LaLiga goals this season, all of them as a substitute. He started Atletico's 1-0 win over Deportivo de La Coruna and scored a stunning free-kick to secure passage to the quarter-finals. Atletico Madrid are on a three-match unbeaten league run (W2 D1) and sit fourth, 11 points behind leaders Barcelona after half their matches. Atletico face Alaves, who occupy 16th place with a two-point cushion above the relegation zone that could change before kickoff. The Metropolitano will welcome fans back after a month without supporters.
