Griezmann: The key to the derby at the Metropolitano
Antoine Griezmann, a Rojiblanco idol, stands as Atlético’s great hope in the crucial derby. The Metropolitano trusts in the talent of ‘El Principito’, a player who has given countless joys to the Colchoneros fans and is approaching 200 goals with the Atleti shirt.
Griezmann knows the way to defeat Real Madrid, and this match is the great event of the season, an opportunity to demonstrate the greatness of the team in the Champions League. The Frenchman was fundamental in Atlético’s last two derby victories, both played at home.
In La Liga, his header complemented Morata’s double, while in the Copa del Rey, a moment of brilliance from him in extra time paved the way for victory. His ability to unbalance is not limited to Real Madrid; he has also been decisive against other big teams in Europe, including Barcelona in the Champions League.
Atlético, boosted by Griezmann’s magic, seeks to emulate past feats and knock out the current champion. This derby could be the ‘7’s last at the Metropolitano, as his future could be in MLS. The fans hope that Griezmann, once again, will guide the team to victory and leave an indelible mark on the club’s history. The Metropolitano is preparing to experience a magical night, confident that Griezmann knows the way to triumph.
