Diego Simeone’s troops marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming Slovakian giants Slovan to Spain’s capital for a Champions League clash.

When all was said and done, the Rojiblancos proved too much for the visitors, emerging on the right side of an eventual 3-1 result.

And the aforementioned Antoine Griezmann proved himself the star of the show.

Fresh off a match-winning brace over the weekend, the Frenchman was at the double once more this evening, adding to Julián Alvarez’s early opener either side of the interval.

And, as alluded to above, in the process, Griezmann joined Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah in an altogether noteworthy individual club.

As revealed by statisticians Opta:

‘Antoine Griezmann has scored 36 goals in 79 appearances for Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, all under Diego Pablo Simeone. Only Messi under Pep Guardiola (43) and Salah under Jürgen Klopp (41) have scored more goals under the same manager in the competition.’
