World champion with the French team in 2018, Antoine Griezmann, however top scorer in the history of Atlético, unfortunately only has a handful of titles in club: a D2 with the Real Sociedad to launch its superb career, a supercart from Spain and a Spanish Supercoupe with the Colchoneros and a King's Cup with Barça in 2021. career in Spain without ever winning the Liga. He may well leave his adopted country without ever being champion …

Unsurprisingly, Griezmann failed to wear the training of Diego Simeone during the shock at the top against Barça last Sunday. A defeat at the end of the match in front of the Blaugranas (3-4) which hurts a lot in the title race with the two Liga giants. The former French international is at the origin of the first goal of his team registered by Julian Alvarez, but he again appeared disconnected from the rest of his teammates, especially during the rapid attacks made against the Blaugranas. “Grizi”, who celebrates his 34th birthday this Friday, has been physically cataclysmic for many weeks. His statistics (16 goals and 7 assists this season) does not hide his weak impact on the field.

Griezmann is no longer there

According to certain followers of Atlético, the number 7 of the “Cholo” is thus confused by his departure scheduled after the season. Even if it means letting go before the last straight line of the season? As said again Reader Last weekend, Griezmann decided to leave Atlético this summer,
“Mainly for family reasons”to join the United States. A meeting with the leaders in the coming days must act a departure after the end of the Liga or after the Club World Cup organized in the country of Uncle Sam (the capital's club facing PSG in the group phase). At this rate, it could be more judicious to release it as quickly as possible.

“Griezmann is not doing well, everyone sees him, and the first to see him is Antoine himself. He sees that he has his head elsewhere and that he does not mark “says Ruben Uria, journalist of the Cadena Cope in a media program El Desmarque. And to continue: “Everyone has the feeling that he will leave this summer. We have the feeling that he will leave. I only have two things in mind. The first is that he comes back full of energy after the truce because the team needs him. I am one of those who think that with a good performance on its part, Atlético would have beaten Barcelona or Madrid. And honestly, the day of his departure, he will have to be thank him for everything he did for the Atlético de Madrid, wish him a good start and accept the fact that he is a legend. ”
