Thanks to his hat-trick scored on the pitch at Celta Vigo (0-3), Antoine Griezmann set a new record in La Liga. And got closer to another historic mark.
Antoine Griezmann did very well on Saturday. Because if Atletico Madrid won 3-0 on the pitch at the Balaidos Stadium, thus getting closer to the top places in La Liga despite a late match, it is mainly thanks to the French world champion. The Mâconnais has indeed won a hat-trick, certainly with a certain success.
After converting a penalty, the former Barcelona player effectively doubled the lead on… a missed cross. “I wanted to cross and I apologized to Alvaro. It was my right foot, at the same time. It’s like that, it’s the attacker’s chance and you have to take advantage of it.”, he told beIN Sports at the end of the meeting. His third goal owes nothing to luck but more to Alvaro Morata, who served it perfectly from the penalty spot.
Thanks to his three goals, Antoine Griezmann set a new record, that of matches in which he scored all the goals of the match. He equals Hugo Sanchez (23) in this area and is a little further ahead of Lionel Messi (19). Above all, he came a little closer to the record for goals scored by an Atletico Madrid player. With now 164 goals in the Colchoneros jersey, he is only seven points behind the mark of Luis Aragones, author of 171 goals with the Madrid club.
