Not only did he face his former club, but he also equaled a Liga record.
Griezmann, who could play his last season at Atlético, should be a player on which Diego Simeone still has a lot. He marked during the penultimate confrontation between the two teams, the 4-4 in the semi-final first leg of the King's Cup at the Olympic stadium Lluis Companys, and he hopes to make a new important contribution during the suite of the season.
On Sunday, Griezmann played his 520th Liga match, equalizing the liga record of the foreign player who played the most games in the Spanish first division, according to Cadena Ser.
Griezmann, a kind of icon
Griezmann is undoubtedly one of the best players in Atlético history, and he is also a Liga legend. He equaled Messi's record on Sunday and, except injury in the coming weeks, he will keep him alone against Espanyol in the first return match after the international break.
The departure of Griezmann from Atlético de Madrid will one day be sad, and he will leave La Liga. His dream is to play in MLS, and he will do it in the years to come. Los Angeles FC hopes to recruit him this summer, even if it could be forced to wait until 2026 if the 33 -year -old decided to extend a season with the Colchoneros.
