Antoine Griezmann finally got out of his box. On a series of ten matches without goal or decisive pass, the 34-year-old Frenchman put an end to this scarcity this Thursday evening, during the success of Atlético Madrid on his lawn of the Metropolitano against Rayo Vallecano (3-0).
For the second time in a row, “Grizou” started the game on the replacement bench. Entering the 61e
Minute, the 2018 world champion was a decisive passer on the third goal of the Colchoneros scored by Julian Alvarez (3-0, 77e).
Author of a good entry, the MĂąconnais, however, did not reconnect with the joy of shaking the nets, he who has not marked since February 25 and the famous 4-4 against FC Barcelona in the King's Cup. An eternity for the ancient Barcelona, ââwhose goals' counter remains blocked at 197 achievements in the colors of AtlĂ©ti.
Entry Strike
Serious and applied, Atlético Madrid had made the difference at the start and end of the first period thanks to Alexander Sorho (1-0, 3e) and Conor Gallagher (2-0, 45e). The Rayo narrowly missed to hope to restart the suspense.
The men of Diego Simeone thus redeem their poor performance in Las Palmas last weekend (1-0) and comfort their third place in the Liga classification. Note that at the same time the Betis Seville has grown Valladolid (5-1).
