Author of a double on Tuesday evening with Atlético, Antoine Griezmann became the top scorer in the history of the Madrid club, tied with Luis Aragonés.

Phenomenal with Atlético this season, Antoine Griezmann scored his 11th and 12th goals in La Liga on Tuesday evening, during the visit of neighbor Getafe as part of the 18th day. The French international had Luis Aragonés’ goals record in his sights and it’s done! “Grizi” becomes the co-top scorer in the history of the Colchoneros, with 173 goals on the clock (and certainly more soon). He is a club legend.

Despite Griezmann’s double (44th and 69th from the penalty spot), Diego Simeone’s team did not manage to pocket the three points during this match played 10 against 11 from the 38th minute and the exclusion of Stefan Savic . The residents of the Metropolitano nevertheless led 1-0 and 3-1, with a goal from Alvaro Morata (69th), but Getafe snatched a draw with a penalty converted by Borja Mayoral in the 93rd.

Atléti are third in the standings and can be overtaken by Barça on Wednesday. Above all, the men of “Cholo” have nine points less than the leader, Girona, who will play on the Betis pitch on Thursday. It’s way too much ! Griezmann and his teammates conclude the year with a shock against Sevilla FC on Saturday, again at home.
