Scorer against Villarreal on Sunday, Antoine Griezmann set a record for his club Atlético Madrid.
It’s done ! Antoine Griezmann became the best director in the history of Atlético Madrid on Sunday evening. Against Villarreal, the French international signed his 169e goal with the Rojiblancos. No one has ever done better.
Griezmann settles at the top
And the only player to have done as well is club legend Adrian Escudero. He established this total in 1956. The mark has therefore stood for 69 years. This says a lot about the French international’s immense achievement.

Griezmann had already overtaken other local stars like Luis Aragones (159) and Fernando Torres (129). And there is no doubt that the total will increase further given that the Mâconnais has no intention of leaving Matelassiers.
In addition to his goal, the ex-Barcelona player also provided a decisive pass in this meeting. Its first in this financial year 2023/2024. In total, this season, he has made 13 successful decisive moves (in 16 games). He is even on the same standards as during the past campaign (34 decisive gestures).
