“The Last Dance.” This is how Atlético de Madrid presents their La Liga matchday 37 match against Girona. It will be, for Antoine Griezmann, the very last in front of the Metropolitano public.
Before his departure at the end of the season, the French striker will receive a tribute from Colchoneros supporters, which should be moving. On Saturday, Diego Simeone once again had very complimentary words about the Mâconnais.
“I would like him to be remembered for who he was, pleaded the “Cholo”. A good man, a noble man, a responsible man, always present for Atlético de Madrid. He had the humility to come back and win back the supporters who, out of love for the club, were angry. I think he will want to be remembered for who he was. »
There will be no other Griezmann
Nice symbol, “Grizou” will play his 500th match with Atlético this Sunday. He is now the top scorer in history, after having been the leader for many years. And Simeone believes he won’t be able to find another player like the Frenchman.
“It is clear that there will be no other like Griezmann,” said the Argentine coach. The responsibility for carrying the team rested on him, on Koke, with his experience, with his presence… It’s very difficult to explain… He carried us, and we will work to find players capable of assuming this responsibility. »
