‘Principito’ hits 200 goals, crowned king of Atlético 👑 | OneFootball

Antoine Griezmann, who scored his 199th goal last Saturday, sealing the ‘manita’ for Atlético against Real Madrid, continues to make history and has now reached two hundred goals with the rojiblanco club. Moreover, he achieved this at the Metropolitano, which, on another magical Champions night, witnessed the Frenchman accomplish this feat by making it 3-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt.

In the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Julián Álvarez pulled off another of his brilliant plays down the left wing and, just as he was about to put the ball in the net, he passed it to Griezmann so the Frenchman could reach 200 goals for Atlético. Cholo Simeone’s player celebrated by lifting a commemorative Atlético shirt in front of the fans and kissing the badge of the club of his life.

A colchonero legend

After surpassing Don Luis Aragonés a couple of seasons ago as Atlético’s all-time top scorer, the ‘Little Prince’ has today become the club’s greatest legend and the first player to reach this milestone goal tally.

A lot of time has passed since that September 16, 2014, when he scored his first goal for Atlético de Madrid against Olympiakos in this very competition. Now, at 34 years old and after more than a decade, he has played 454 matches as a rojiblanco, in which, in addition to his 200 goals, he has also provided 87 assists.

Likewise, Griezmann now leads a list of legends and great figures for Atlético de Madrid as their all-time top scorers. Following him are Luis Aragonés with 173 goals, Adrián Escudero with 169, Paco Campos with 153, José Luis Gárate with 136, and Fernando Torres with 129.
