"We played a good game, were organized, very well switched from defense to attack. They had a lot of possession," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after their win over Barcelona.
"But we were able to play the way we wanted. The halves were the same - Barcelona had a lot of possession. In the first half our counterattacks were very good, in the second they can not be counted.
"AT the end of the first half, I approached him [Joao Felix] and told him that we wanted him to do what he was doing now - be decisive, turn the game around and immediately create a threat to the opponent's goal."
The last meeting between Granada and Atletico in a league match was on 13 February 2021.
Atletico emerged 2-1 winners over Granada in a game which was played at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes.
