Three weeks ago, Atletico were on course for a La Liga and Champions League double, yet Diego Simeone's side end the season without a trophy after the most heartbreaking of defeats.
Having finished three points behind champions Barcelona in Spain, they are left to reflect on what might have been despite an impressive second-half performance at the San Siro.
Griezmann became more dangerous as the final wore on but his missed penalty proved crucial, even though Carrasco later levelled after Juanfran's brilliant volleyed cross.
It is the third time Atletico have reached the final and failed to win yet the future remains bright, with Simeone likely to remain in charge next season despite interest from Premier League clubs.
His task this summer will be keeping his assets, with Griezmann and midfielder Saul Niguez having been linked with moves to Chelsea and Manchester United respectively.
