Antoine Griezmann still entered the history of the Spanish championship. Tagged by Diego Simeone this Saturday afternoon, on the occasion of the meeting between Atlético de Madrid and Espanyol Barcelona on behalf of the 29th day of Liga, the former French international offered himself a prestigious record.
After equaling Lionel Messi, “Grizou” is now alone on the throne … By starting this match against Espanyol, the Mâconnais now totals 521 liga appearances, one more than the octuple Argentinian gold balloon. He thus becomes the only foreign player with the greatest number of Liga matches.
In detail, Antoine Griezmann played 141 matches with Real Sociedad, 75 under the colors of FC Barcelona and 305 with Atlético Madrid. And during his 521 games, the 34 -year -old French striker scored 198 goals and delivered 95 assists.
Griezmann to a start at the end of the season?
In addition, the former Barcelona exceeded Saul Niguez with 428 appearances with the Colchoneros. From then on, it climbs at the 8e Place of the most capped players' classification in the Atléti jersey. However, it will be difficult for him to reach the 672 matches of his teammate Koke.
Indeed, Griezmann's future remains so vague. He tells himself that he could leave Atlético at the end of the season to join the MLS, where he wishes to end his career.
