Griezmann mocks Sanchez as 's***' as new footage shows him wildly celebrating
Antoine Griezmann didn't mince his words after Alexis Sanchez missed from the spot during a dramatic penalty shootout that saw Atletico Madrid reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Jan Oblak was the hero as the LaLiga giants beat Inter Milan 3-2 on penalties at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night.
Hakan Calhanoglu and Memphis Depay, whose 87th minute goal rescued Atletico and forced the game to extra-time, emphatically scored the first two penalties.

Rodrigo Riquelme scored and so did Francesco Acerbi, before Angel Correa blasted Atletico's fourth penalty past Sommer and Inter captain Lautaro Martinez skied his effort to send the hosts through.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Atletico found themselves behind as Federico Dimarco put last season's Champions League finalists ahead in the first half, only for Griezmann to restore parity two minutes later.
