Atlético de Madrid ended its season with a victory against Real Sociedad (0-2) on Saturday, and the public in San Sebastián did not fail to target Antoine Griezmann, trained at the Basque club.
Before returning to Clairefontaine next Wednesday to prepare for Euro 2024 with the France team, Antoine Griezmann concluded a lackluster second part of the season with Atlético de Madrid. “Grizi” remained silent during a final victory for the Colchoneros on the pitch of Real Sociedad (0-2), Saturday afternoon in La Liga. The French striker has only been decisive in one of his last seven matches. For a total of 24 goals and 8 assists in 48 matches in all competitions.
Griezmann was manhandled by part of the public at the Reale Arena. Of the “Griezmann, will die” came down from the stadium aisles towards the native of Mâcon, who was obviously trained in the San Sebastian club. Not nice when his wife and children came to watch this last match of the season. The 33-year-old left-hander made his debut at 18 with the Basque team and will have had five full seasons with Real before experiencing his great adventure in the Spanish capital.
Antoine Griezmann will play the LDC
For this match without stakes, Diego Simeone’s team showed realism by opening the score from the start through Samuel Lino on a cross from Marcos Llorente (9th). Griezmann was in front of goal but failed to take over the Spanish international’s serve. At the end of the match, just after the exclusion of Saul Niguez for a second warning (91st), Alvaro Morata served Reinildo Mandava for the break goal (93rd).
Atlético therefore finishes fourth in the La Liga standings, behind Real Madrid, Barça and Girona (five points), and will therefore compete in the next Champions League. Real Sociedad, for its part, is content with sixth place and direct participation in the Europa League. Bilbao is 6th and it is Betis who inherits 7th place, synonymous with the Conference League play-offs.
