There are weeks like this where everything happens like a dream. After its resounding victory on the pitch of Sparta Prague in the Champions League (0-6), Atlético de Madrid did almost as well on Saturday evening on the pitch of Valladolid (0-5).
During this meeting, Antoine Griezmann had fun again, and the French striker scored the best goal of the match. After a good one-two with Julian Alvarez, the Mâconnais achieved a superb pivot control to take the ball, before adjusting the opposing goalkeeper with an outside foot. Splendid !
Griezmann acclaimed by the Valladolid public
This is the third goal in three matches for Griezmann. The former playing master of the France team, who will continue to arouse regrets among Blues supporters with this kind of performance, was even acclaimed by the Valladolid public after this little gem.
This is the seventh victory in a row for Atlético de Madrid in all competitions, the fourth in a row in La Liga. Diego Simeone’s men are thus taking full advantage of FC Barcelona’s big downturn, and thus come back to within two small points of the Catalans in the standings. Antoine Griezmann clearly has nothing to do with it.
