Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League last 16 with a comfortable home win over Thierry Henry’s Monaco.

Koke sent the hosts ahead after just two minutes and then Antoine Griezmann doubled the lead.

Stefan Savic was sent off for a foul in the area late on but Radamel Falcao missed the penalty so there was not even a consolation for the Ligue 1 team.

 

Diego Simeone's side are top of Group A with 12 points from 5 games, Monaco are bottom with just one point.
