Author of two goals, including one returned, Antoine Griezmann once again sparkled during Atlético’s victory against Celtic (6-0) in the Champions League.

In case you missed this, here’s a little reminder: Antoine Griezmann is in great form with Atlético de Madrid. The French striker delivered another small recital this Tuesday evening during the Colchoneros’ big victory against Celtic (6-0) in the Champions League.

“Grizi” opened the scoring with a nice shot from outside the area (6th). Then, at the hour mark, the 2018 world champion scored one of the jewels of this European evening (60th), with a return which left Joe Hart without reaction!

Author of 16 goals and 15 assists last season in La Liga, Griezmann started this new year with flying colors, with 7 goals in 11 La Liga days, and now 4 goals in as many matches in the Champions League.

In a period like this, the Mâconnais is a delight. We saw it again with this magnificent pass at the end of the first period, which led to Alvaro Morata’s goal (45th + 2).

Faced with a Celtic who were too quickly reduced to ten after Maeda’s red card (23rd), the Colchoneros unfolded. After the exit of Griezmann (64th), preserved by his coach, Samuel Lino scored (66th), Morata scored a double (76th) and Saul Niguez participated in the party (85th).

Thanks to Lazio’s victory against Feyenoord (1-0), Atlético took the opportunity to regain the lead of this group E, with a small margin: one point ahead of Lazio and two over Feyenoord, the next opponents Madrilenians.
