Griezmann slips during penaltyScoops penalty over the barSpurned biggest chance of the gameWHAT HAPPENED?
The Rojiblancos failed to score in the opening half of their clash against Sevilla and that was partially down to Griezmann's missed penalty in the 26th minute of the game. The Frenchman stepped up for the penalty but lost his footing and scooped the shot way over Orjan Nyland's goal. The game remains goalless after the first hour of play.

The winner of the clash will join the three already qualified teams in Mallorca, Athletic Club and Real Sociedad. The Rojiblancos will be very keen to advance through this round as they could potentially see an easier-than-usual path to the trophy with Real Madrid and Barcelona already knocked out.
WHAT NEXT?
With the game perfectly set up for a blockbuster finish, Griezmann will be hoping to spare his blushes and help his team make it into the semi-final of the competition.
