During Inter’s success against Atlético de Madrid (1-0), Tuesday evening in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, Marcus Thuram and Antoine Griezmann both left the field injured. The first city first left the playing area at the end of the first half (44th). After the intervention of the trainers, the Inter player returned to the field, but did not resume the match after the break. He has right adductor pain. Griezmann left in the 78th minute, injured in the ankle.
Before his release, the former En Avant de Guingamp player had not touched a lot of balls, in a closed match. Both teams created very few chances, even if Marcus Thuram benefited from a good opportunity at the very start of the game (4th minute).
Found by Nicolò Barella, the Blues striker (16 caps, 2 goals) entered the area but missed his control. However, he had outpaced the Spanish defense, but the ball ended up going out of goal. Shortly before his injury, he had another opportunity.
On a counter-attack, he combined again with Italian midfielder Nicolò Barella. At the edge of the area, Marcus Thuram unleashed a right-footed shot. On target, it was firmly blocked by the Colchoneros goalkeeper, Jan Oblak (43rd). The French player was still able to watch the end of the match from the bench and encourage his partners. His replacement Marko Arnautovic finally offered victory to Inter (79th).
In a match in which he touched very few balls, Antoine Griezmann was also injured. Frustrated, the French international gave way to Angel Correa in the 78th minute. The top scorer in the history of Atlético de Madrid is injured in the right ankle. He went to sit on the bench with an ice pack to ease the pain.
