Liga: Getafe frustrates Atlético and an Antoine Griezmann record

Published:

By: Manu Tournoux

This evening of the 18th day of La Liga will remain in the memory of Antoine Griezmann and the supporters of Atlético de Madrid for two ambivalent reasons. The captain’s club led by two goals against its suburban neighbor, Getafe, before collapsing in the final minutes (3-3). The fault in particular lies with Savic, who left his partners ten against eleven from the 38th minute. In the meantime, the double from Griezmann (44th, 69th) and Morata (63rd) had almost sealed the victory.

Except that the Azulones came back, first by Mayoral (53rd), then Rodriguez (87th) and a new goal from Mayoral from the penalty spot (90th + 3). This draw is a bad deal since the Colochoneros are 3rd, tied with Barça, who receive the lantern road Almeria tomorrow. This disappointment puts the other information of the evening in the background. By scoring his 172nd and 173rd goals in the Madrid jersey, Griezmann becomes the top scorer in the club’s history, tied with Luis Aragones. In the other match of the evening, Sevilla crushed Granada 3-0 for Quique Sanchez Flores’ first match on the bench.
