Atletico Madrid have eliminated defending champions, FC Barcelona from the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League with a 2-0 win at the Estadio Vincent's Calderon .

Coming from a 2-1 defeat away at Camp Nou in the first leg, Diego Simeone's men needed only a goal without converting and they got more.

Frenchman, Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring in the 36th after he sent  a powerful header into the top right from a Saul Niguez flicked cross. 

Griezmann sealed the win from the spot in the 88th minute after Andres Iniesta handled a Luiz Felipe cross in the Barca box.
