Atlético de Madrid: after humiliating Real Madrid, Antoine Griezmann lets loose

Atlético Madrid sent the Wanda Metropolitano into raptures by humiliating Real Madrid 5-2 on Matchday 7 of La Liga. On this festive night, Antoine Griezmann found his scoring touch again, netting the fifth goal for Los Colchoneros.

A clear sign that his confidence is back, this goal could reignite his season and underline his importance in Diego Simeone’s squad.

After the match, the Frenchman made a point of praising his team’s collective performance:

Historic milestone and leadership role

Griezmann also spoke about his personal goals:

With 199 goals already in the rojiblanco shirt, the Frenchman is aiming for the symbolic 200-goal mark.

Finally, the Mâcon native took the opportunity to highlight his teammate Julian Alvarez:

More than just a prestigious win, this derby could mark a fresh start for Griezmann and send a powerful message from Atlético in the title race.
