Griezmann, two cities and a legend | OneFootball

Atlético’s run to the Sevilla final has jolted the club, widely seen at the Metropolitano as vital to rescuing the season.

It also confirms a spot in the next Supercopa de España and has sparked 250 new members as fans mobilise for the trip. Only lifting the trophy would complete the recovery.

Saturday brings a Liga meeting of the finalists at the Metropolitano, a rehearsal of sorts, though rotation is likely with Tottenham due on Tuesday. Griezmann dominates the build-up, and L’Équipe reports he will remain at Atlético until season’s end.

Orlando have offered him 15 million net to leave now. Tottenham are struggling, and if Simeone’s side execute, they could reach Europe’s last eight.

Real Sociedad and Atlético have defined his career. He spent five seasons with the Basque club, earned promotion in 2009-10, then four top-flight campaigns before a 30 million move to Atlético.

Across 10 seasons in red and white he has become Atlético’s record scorer. If he features against Real Sociedad he will pass Tomás Reñones as the club’s fourth-most used player, making appearance 484.

The next time these teams meet will be in Sevilla, where he will chase the Copa with Atlético. Days from turning 35 and valued at 11 million, he still sets the agenda, even overshadowing Julián Alvarez’s early-season sparkle. He might not start today, but when he appears he will be decisive.
