Antoine Griezmann would not discuss his future after Atletico Madrid beat Marseille 3-0 to secure the trophy in Lyon, France.
“It is not the moment to talk about my future, I must enjoy having won a trophy, and celebrate it with the fans,”Griezmann said. “The truth is this was a dream for me, to win a trophy with Atletico, with [Diego Simeone] and my friends and teammates.
“Your feeling for a club gets stronger every game, every year. I’ve been here four years, and I have enjoyed today with the fans, the people of the club, my relationship with them is strong, which is why I give everything on the pitch.”
When I left home at 14 years of age it was to win trophies, to enjoy nights like this,” Griezmann said on beIN SPORTS on the final whistle. “This is the second, after a Supercopa, and I hope I can win more trophies.”
The pitchside interview ended quickly amid joyful celebrations from Atletico’s players and staff, with further questions over Griezmann’s future left hanging.
Both his goals were very coolly taken, with careful finishes which gave his international teammate and Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda no chance to save.
“I don’t know if it is cold-blood in the finish, or confidence,” he said. “But I was able to help the team to win this trophy.”
