Griezmann was forced off the bench to score the winner as Atletico also maintained their La Liga title hopes with a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday as coach Diego Simeone made seven changes from the side that started the first leg against Bayern.
And despite Atletico&rsquo;s long season and high-energy style, Griezmann believes they are where they dreamed of being at the start of the season.
Tiredness doesn&rsquo;t matter "It is the best thing to have great games and the tiredness matters little," said Griezmann.
"We are very enthusiastic. Every player dreams of playing a Champions League semi-final and we will give everything."
Griezmann rode to Atletico&rsquo;s rescue with a brilliant volley after coming on as a substitute to ensure Atletico remain level on points with Barcelona at the top of La Liga with just two games remaining.
"The important thing was to win and on a personal level I&rsquo;m happy to score the goal," Griezmann said.
&lsquo;Great game ahead&rsquo; "Now we need to rest. We have a great game of Champions League to come and we&rsquo;ll try to get a good result there to go through to the final."
