Simeone satisfied with Atletico Madrid comeback: 'A complete performance'

Antoine Griezmann won praise from his manager after starring in a 4-1 comeback win away to Copenhagen

Diego Simeone was satisfied to see Atletico Madrid come from behind to build a 4-1 lead away to Copenhagen in the first leg of their last-32 Europa League tie.

Viktor Fischer gave the Danish champions a shock advantage in the 15th minute, but it was a short-lived lead as Antoine Griezmann soon crossed for Saul Niguez to head home.

Griezmann was influential throughout and he combined in stunning fashion with Lucas Hernandez to set up Kevin Gameiro before the break, before extending Atletico's lead himself after the interval.
