Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring and participated in the historic victory of Atlético de Madrid on Monday evening on the lawn of Rayo Vallecano (0-7, 3rd day of La Liga).
If its neighbor Real Madrid currently occupies the leading position in the Spanish championship with three victories in as many games, Atéltico de Madrid did what was necessary on Monday evening to get back in its wake. Thanks to its success gleaned Monday evening on the lawn of Rayo Vallecano (0-7), Diego Simeone’s team came back to within two points of Meringue. But this victory for Antoine Griezmann and his partners had a somewhat special taste, because it is historic.
Never has Atlético de Madrid managed to win away with a seven-goal lead in its entire history. And “Grizou” fully participated in the celebration since it was he who opened the scoring in the second minute of the match on a serve from Raul de Paul. After that, the Colchoneros unrolled and literally crushed an opponent who had nevertheless started his season perfectly by chaining two victories in a row.

The Atlético festival has in any case allowed several men to score. In addition to Antoine Griezmann, it was Memphis Depay, Nahuel Molina, Marcos Llorente, Angel Correa and Alvaro Morata (author of a double) who found the net. This overall performance is also noteworthy as it is only the second time in the 21st century that Atlético de Madrid has managed to score seven goals in a single official match. The last time he succeeded was a decade ago, against Getafe (7-0, in 2013).
