Antoine Griezmann could not avoid the draw between Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo (1-1), Saturday, during the 24th day of Liga. On the other hand, the now ex-French international, retired since the last euro, took advantage of this meeting to enter a little more in the history of the Spanish championship.
This match was thus the 516th of Griezmann's career in Liga, which allows him to enter the top 10 players who played the most in the Spanish elite, equally with Jesus Navas, legend of Seville FC. With five more parts on the clock, which will not fail to happen during the season, “Grizou” will even go beyond another legendary player, a certain Lionel Messi, to become the most capped foreigner! The Argentinian genius remained blocked at 520, when he decided to leave FC Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain, then opt for Inter Miami in Major League American soccer.
In mind, we find the former sports director of Olympique de Marseille, Andoni Zubizarretta and Joaquin, ex-aequo with 622 matches.
And now the top 10 scorers?
Antoine Griezmann has another challenge in front of him, but he promises to be more complicated to accomplish if he decides to leave Atletico to also join the United States at the end of the season as the rumor says. There are only 15 goals missing at the 2018 world champion to integrate the top 10 of the best scorers in the history of the Liga. With 198 goals, the Frenchman is still delayed on the former Madrid Pahino (212).
This classification is not surprisedly dominated very largely by Lionel Messi with 474 goals, which is ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo (311) and Telmo Zarra (251). In fourth place, proof of the gigantic imprint he still left in Real Madrid and in the Spanish championship, we find Karim Benzema with 238 goals.
