Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann is daring to dream of a fairytale finale after his side survived a fierce Barcelona fightback to reach their first Champions League semi-final in ​nine years on Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

A 2-1 home defeat was enough for Diego Simeone's side to progress ‌3-2 on aggregate, the Metropolitano crowd exhaling at the final whistle as Atletico edged into the last four.

For Griezmann, 35, it was a night thick with emotion.
