Griezmann Shines Again, Achieves Atlético Madrid Record
French star Antoine Griezmann has rediscovered his form with Atlético Madrid, scoring four goals in his last three matches and confirming his strong return to attacking contributions.
Griezmann's recent goals include a crucial strike against Valencia, a brace against Atlético Baleares, and another goal against Girona, highlighting his increasing offensive effectiveness.
Griezmann is currently considered the "ideal substitute" and "best substitute in Europe's top five leagues" in terms of goal contributions, having scored 9 goals in 1,018 minutes played. Coach Diego Simeone praised him after his goal against Valencia, stating: “It's a goal unique to him. Great control, an influential player. We hope he continues to give us these joys because he possesses qualities he still retains despite his age, and his status is amazing.”
The French player also equaled Enrique Collar's record by reaching 470 appearances, making him the fifth-most capped player in Atlético Madrid's history. Griezmann is preparing for upcoming challenges, including matches at Anoeta in 2026, and the Saudi Super Cup against Real Madrid.
