Dani Carvajal sent Antoine Griezmann 'for a nap' with piece of skill

Antoine Griezmann was 'sent back to Barcelona' and made to 'nap' by Dani Carvajal, as the Real Madrid defender made his opponent look foolish with a piece of skill.

Griezmann was intent on closing down the right back and made a lunge for the ball, Carvajal remained completely calm though and just casually chipped the ball over the onrushing forward.

Unfortunately for the Atleti star, he ended up in a position that made it look like he was having a little shluff on the turf at the Wanda Metropolitano.

It's the kind of image that should be accompanied by the scratching a record followed by a voiceover that says, "Yeah, that's me, and you might be wondering how I got here..."

The clause in Griezmann's loan means if he plays more than 45 minutes in 80% of Atleti's games then they have to pay €40 million for the forward.

However Atleti, like Barcelona, aren't exactly flush with cash these days so they're as desperate to avoid paying it as Barca are desperate to offload the 31-year-old.

However, the decision to start the former Real Sociedad player didn't work out for Simeone's side, who lost to their more esteemed neighbours.

Mario Hermoso pulled one back in the 83rd minute, to give the hosts some hope, but he was later sent off in injury time as Carlo Ancelotti's side picked up all three points.
