Antoine Griezmann found a smile. After a long period of scarcity of 22 consecutive matches without scoring in Liga, the former 34-year-old French international ended up finding the net in the overwhelming victory of Atlético over Real (5-2), a week ago.
Three days later, the Mâconnais recurred against Frankfurt in the Champions League. A little special goal for him since it was his 200e Under the colors of Atlético, of which he is already the top scorer in history. A brand that few French players have reached during their career in a foreign club.
As reminded The teamthere are only three, in addition to “Grizou”, to have reached this symbolic bar of the 200 achievements within the same foreign club. The deck attacker will therefore join a very closed circle including Karim Benzema.
Besides Benzema, Griezmann joins two other French scorers
In fourteen seasons spent at Real Madrid, the Ballon d'Or 2022 scored 354 goals. A total that does not allow the “nude” to appear at the top of the ranking of the best scorers in the history of the White House, dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo and his 450 goals.
Always top scorer in Arsenal, Thierry Henry scored 228 goals with the Gunners between 1999 to 2007. The 98 world champion was ahead of André-Pierre Gignac, who found the flaw 220 times in his Mexican Tigres de Monterrey club.
In France, Kylian Mbappé also passed this symbolic CAP with PSG (256 goals). Like the ancient Lyonnais Fleury Di Nallo (222) and Alexandre Lacazette (201), but also the ex-Stéphanois Hervé Revelli (214).
