Atletico - Lazio - 2:0
Both teams had secured their spots in the Round of 16 before the match. However, the intrigue remained regarding which team would top the group. The "mattress-makers" surged ahead at the very start of the encounter. In the 6th minute, Griezmann, left unmarked around the 11-meter mark, calmly fired past Proto after a pass from Lino. It's worth noting that for the Frenchman, this goal marked his fifth in the ongoing Champions League campaign. Early in the second half, Lino beautifully struck the ball into the top corner, scoring a goal himself, which ultimately concluded the match. Atletico, with 14 points, secured the group's top spot, while the Romans finished second with 10 points.
