Antoine Griezmann scored twice against Club Brugge on Wednesday as Atletico Madrid made a winning start at the stadium they hope to return to for the Champions League final next year. Arnaut Groeneveld's stunning long-range effort pulled Brugge level shortly before half-time but Griezmann added a second, before his driving run allowed Koke to wrap up a 3-1 victory late on. The result maintains a perfect start for Diego Simeone's side in Group A. They sit level on six points with Borussia Dortmund, whom they now play twice in succession, starting with a trip to Germany later this month.

This was Atletico's first home game at the Wanda Metropolitano in this season's tournament, 241 days before they hope to walk out here again for the final on June 1. Simeone admitted the prospect of winning the cup on their own patch is a source of inspiration for his side and to do it, Griezmann will surely be key. The Frenchamn has now been involved in 17 of Atletico's last 19 Champions League goals scored at home, chipping in with 12 goals and five assists. A successful night was blighted only by injury, with both Diego Costa and Jose Gimenez forced off.
