Antoine Griezmann pleased to start with a win

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann reveals his delight after the Spanish side opened their Champions League Group C campaign with a win away to Galatasaray.

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has said that his team were "happy with the level" they showed in their Champions League Group C opener against Galatasaray on Tuesday.

Griezmann scored twice for the Spanish side in Turkey as Diego Simeone's side opened the group with a comfortable 2-0 victory.

The Frenchman, however, has insisted that Atletico's focus has now switched to La Liga, with a trip to Eibar to come at the weekend.

"We know the importance of a first victory in the group stage. We played for it, and now we have to start thinking about the league," Griezmann told AS.

"The important thing is that someone scores, not who scores. But in the end I'm a bit angry about the chance given to me by Fernando Torres that I bundled.

"We've already forgotten about the defeat to Barcelona. We're happy with the level we've shown in our first Champions League match."

Atletico reached the final of the Champions League in the 2013-14 season, the same campaign in which they won their first Spanish title since 1996.
