Griezmann: To Reunite with His Lucky Charm
Antoine Griezmann, the undisputed star of Atlético de Madrid, is preparing for a crucial duel. The French striker, a key figure in the rojiblanco scheme, seeks to rediscover his best version and his goal-scoring touch, after a period of drought that does not tarnish his great season.
Despite recent criticism, Griezmann remains a benchmark in the Colchonero attack and a fundamental player to aspire to great objectives. Interestingly, the next match gives him the opportunity to face the only team he has managed to score against in the last two months: FC Barcelona.
That goal, a valuable goal in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals in Montjuic, meant 0-2 in an exciting match that ended in a 4-4 draw. A special goal, also, for being the first that the Frenchman scored against the Blaugrana team since his return to Atlético.
Although Griezmann has accumulated 16 goals and 8 assists so far this season, numbers that demonstrate his quality and commitment, the Metropolitano longs to see him celebrate more often.
With the ambition of becoming the club’s all-time top scorer, surpassing the barrier of 200 goals (currently he has 197), the ‘Little Prince’ has a golden opportunity in this match to break his streak and delight the Rojiblanca fans again. History already has a special place reserved for him, especially for that 2016 Champions League tie against Barcelona. Go for it, Antoine!
