Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has made a big admission about Getafe's on-loan Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood after he went up against the Englishman on Tuesday.

Through two goals from himself and one from Alvaro Morata, Los Rojiblancos approached the final minutes of their LALIGA clash against Getafe at home on Tuesday 3-1 up.
However, late strikes from Spanish forward Borja Mayoral and Oscar Rodriguez saw the away team clinch a point at the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano, with Greenwood also largely to thank for his involvement.
The 21-year-old, who is on loan at the Madrid side from United, proved difficult to handle for Atletico's defenders, impressing France vice-captain Griezmann in the process.
"It's a shame because we had made a great effort with 10 [men after Stefan Savic was sent off in the 38th minute]," he told DAZN after the encounter.
"It's a shame that Savic makes two fouls and gets two yellow cards. In the end you hold on.
"Greenwood hurt us a lot, we couldn't stop him at the end of the game and two goals came."
The one-time England international has contributed to nine goals in 15 matches for Getafe since his temporary departure from the Red Devils.
In Manchester, the club decided to move him on before the end of the August transfer window, and ensured supporters he would continue his career elsewhere amid rumours United initially planned to welcome him back to their first team.
