Griezmann seeks to reconnect with the goal and the fans
Antoine Griezmann, the all-time top scorer for Atlético de Madrid, faces a crucial moment in his season. After chaining 14 consecutive starts, the Colchoneros fans hope to see the best version of the ‘Little Prince’ again.
The match at the Metropolitano presents an ideal opportunity for Griezmann to redeem himself, after a period with less goalscoring brilliance than usual. The goal of reaching 200 goals as a Rojiblanco is still present, but this year’s goal drought has slowed his progression.
Despite this slump, Simeone’s confidence in Griezmann remains unwavering. The Argentine coach has publicly defended the importance of the French striker, highlighting his status as a “differential player” for the team.
The home game is special for Griezmann, not only because of the need to reconnect with the goal, but also for the opportunity to connect with the fans again. Griezmann’s future is also up in the air, but for the moment he is focused on the club.
The board and the coaching staff are counting on him. Now the player must decide whether to continue one more year or go to the United States. Come on, Antoine, the Metropolitano awaits you!
