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 Mâconnais, 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, whose goals' counter remains blocked at 197 achievements in the colors of Atléti.
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).
