Griezmann, a golazo for history

Antoine Griezmann became the top scorer in the history of Atlético de Madrid this Wednesday by striking against Real Madrid.

What more prestigious context to establish a record than opposition to the great Real Madrid? Antoine Griezmann gave himself a nice slice of eternity this Wednesday by finding the fault at the expense of the White House in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup.

In a very lively first act, marked by four goals on the lawn of the King Saud University stadium, in Saudi Arabia, the French international responded to his counterpart Ferland Mendy, by equalizing at 2-2 at the end of world-class action.

Not content with having simultaneously put Merengues Luka Modric and Antonio Rüdiger in the wind, Antoine Griezmann concluded his masterpiece with a lovely long shot, unstoppable for the Real goalkeeper (2-2, 37e). A real golazo to erase the Colchoneros icon Luis Aragones from the shelves, with now 174 goals on the clock among the Matelassiers. That is 123 in La Liga, 13 in the Copa del Rey, 37 on the European scene and one, from now on, in the Spanish Super Cup.
