Arriving at Atlético de Madrid from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2014, Antoine Griezmann built his legend and earned his place in the hearts of the club’s supporters. And despite the poorly experienced interlude of his time at FC Barcelona between 2019 and 2021, the Frenchman was able to win back the Atlético public once he returned home. As he leaves for MLS this summer, he will be entitled to a proper tribute.
It was Atlético which communicated on the subject on Friday evening, two days before the final match played at home by the Colchoneros. “The moment is approaching: Sunday, after the Atléti-Girona match, enjoy an emotional moment for Antoine Griezmann’s farewell at the Metropolitano, from 9 p.m. Experience an unforgettable evening, in honor of the best scorer in the history of the Rouge et Blanc! »
Sunday against Girona, “Grizou” will play his 500th match in the colors of Atlético. Since playing for this club, the 2018 world champion with France has scored a whopping 212 goals in all competitions, without forgetting his 99 assists.
Antoine Griezmann, a well-deserved tribute
Assured of fourth place in La Liga with two days remaining, Atlético is already qualified for the next Champions League, a competition in which it reached the semi-finals this season before being knocked out by Arsenal. Beaten by Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final, the Colchoneros failed to offer one last trophy to Antoine Griezmann.
Future Orlando player, the thirty-five-year-old Frenchman will in any case be entitled to an evening full of emotion this Sunday at the Metropolitano. The Madrid supporters intend to tell him all the love they have for him, and thank him for the work accomplished over the past years.
