00:00A way to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga whilst Atleti trounced Real Madrid here
00:105-2 on Saturday. It started Anfield but his brace against the rail on Saturday means he
00:16cannot be left out. Some are signing Alex Wainer for Jonny Burkhardt. It's four goals in three
00:22and amongst their subs World Cup winner Mario Goetze and Raspadori's cross and it will be
00:32kept in far side by Giuliano who's beaten his man and has found a cross and the chance
00:39is there and it's buried. Atleti had to wait long to score and Giacomo Raspadori with his
00:47first goal in the red and white stripes after his summer move from Napoli.
00:57Well Saturday evening's feel-good factor is back with a vengeance.
01:04Oh lovely ball for Raspadori, there are two-inch stripes trying to get up within far post, partially
01:12cleared the spectacular overhead kick. Attempted by Simeone, but no power in it, that would
01:21have been quite a goal. Can't afford to be too gung-ho though because in the mood that Atleti
01:27are in at the moment it could wipe them out and they're through again here and the effort
01:33from Griezmann is disappointing from his high standards. Now a pretty well-formed black wall
01:41between Atleti and the Frankfurt goal but Griezmann's laid it off, Alvarez taking it wide and placing
01:48it over the bar. Lovely patient build-up from Atleti's current form. Julian Alvarez will be most disappointed
01:59that he didn't at least test the goalkeeper there. He's not far over the bar though, is he?
02:04Of course it was Real who knocked him out of this competition last season on penalties here
02:08in the round of 16. Barrios, lovely touch and Alvarez is in, surely he'll score this time.
02:14Straight at the goalkeeper this time. Went for power this time.
02:19So Alvarez to try again, Longley and Lenormand inevitably in there. Griezmann near post, how
02:28did that stay out? Well it knocked for very long, shoved in by Lenormand and it's 2-0 Atleti.
02:34Well two goals in a few days for the Spanish centre-half.
02:41It's Griezmann attacking it at the near post. Keeper does just about enough to keep that
02:52out without knowing too much about it. And then he just flicks off Collins invitingly for Lenormand
02:59just to thump it home into a gaping goal. Keeper out of the picture, literally. And through
03:07the legs of Burghardt on the line.
03:37No changes to either team as we get back underway.
04:05Atleti now attacking the goal away to our right.
04:14Kanskiri...
04:17...Durchatz.
04:19Nice turn, but no power at all in the drive.
04:23Maybe one or two are just beginning to feel the pace a bit now.
04:29Mentally, here they know that this job is virtually done,
04:33but here's Kanao with a decent ball in, and there's a goal.
04:36Burkhardt on the score sheet.
04:38Atleti caught out and full marks to Kanao for chasing that
04:43and not just stretching to keep it in, but flick it across dangerously.
04:48And Jonny Burkhardt is on the target again.
04:53Two against Galatasaray, a four-night ago.
04:59And it's five in his last four.
05:03Simeone.
05:13Oh, that was heading home as well.
05:15In by Alvarez.
05:28It's four.
05:29Simeone at the near post.
05:38Look for Alvarez.
05:40He's turned Cook inside out a few times already tonight.
05:44He's looking to do the same again here.
05:46Angle is tight.
05:47Santos with the block.
05:48Arriving is Griezmann.
05:49Appeals for handball against Amenda.
05:51Just seemed to flick away at the ball with some petulance.
06:06And he's been advised to go and check the pitch side monitor here.
06:16Here's the angle and the right arm does move away from his body and it definitely flicks off the hand.
06:28And Griezmann's chance to take on the shot or knock it into the box seems to disappear because of that.
06:45He's had a good look.
06:47And unsurprisingly Slavko Vincic points to the penalty spot.
06:54Well, the Argentinian scored from the spot here against Real Madrid on Saturday.
07:01And he scores with such impudence again here.
07:06Santos was on his knees as he flicked his hand towards the ball, but it's sailed.
07:13And it's all over now.
07:15Diego Simeone can celebrate a magnificently convincing success over Eintracht Frankfurt.
