Griezmann leads Atletico Madrid in their best run since 2015
Antoine Griezmann has contributed to more goals than any other player at Atletico Madrid this season, with a 34.9 percent share between his nine goals and six assists. His control and finish in the 94th minute sparked a frenzy at the Metropolitano Stadium, giving Diego Simeone’s team a crucial victory over Sevilla.
Griezmann also scored the 2-3 that lifted Atletico in the 62nd minute and has been key in other agonizing comebacks. His coach called him a ‘different player’ and praised his growth in the second half of the match.
Griezmann averages a goal every 3.77 shots and has exceeded the expected goals parameter by 3.43. He leads Atletico in goal contribution, between finishing and passing, with 15 goals. His teammate Samuel Lino highlighted his quality on the field and his humility off it.
