Antoine Griezmann is on a mission. This season, the French international hopes to participate and win Euro 2024 with the France team. At club level, the 32-year-old footballer also has high goals. The first is to win the championship. This is what he explained during the week on beIN Sports. “We will go to the end, until the end to try to win La Liga. We know it will be difficult but I think we have the team for it. We will have to win everywhere and from Thursday too.” On Thursday, Grizi was on the field to face Osasuna for the seventh day of La Liga.

And the Frenchman found the net again last night. Indeed, he opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a left-footed shot during his team’s 2-0 success. A new achievement from the former FC Barcelona player who is the man in form at Madrid. On Sunday, he scored a goal in the derby against Real Madrid, winning with a score of 3 to 1. Scorer in the last two matches, he is improving his statistics. This season, he has already scored 3 goals in 7 appearances in all competitions.

Grizi is in good shape

We can also add a goal (on a penalty) with the France team during the friendly match against Germany on September 12 (2-1 defeat). With confidence, Antoine Griezmann brings more than his goals. He is also one of the most dangerous players on his team, which he influences positively on the field. The Spanish press was also very complimentary about him this Friday. A.S. writing : “Undetectable and very mobile, he directed the offensive game with mastery. He scored the first goal, first by recovering the ball, then with a highly technical shot, almost without an angle. In the second half, he suffered from the load of minutes and the effort of the derby. He ended up being exhausted.”

Marca spoke of one as “one of the most notable players” of the match against Osasuna. After the match, the vice-captain of the Blues spoke about his current form. And listening to him, he’s not yet at his best. “I still have a little left to be 100%”he admitted before confiding: “we have to continue like this, work and continue to improve. We had to extend the derby victory. We know the matches are going to be complicated. Now let’s rest.” A deserved rest for Griezmann, who will host Cadiz then Feyenoord in the coming days.
