Phenomenal this season with Atlético de Madrid, Antoine Griezmann gave his team victory against Mallorca (1-0) on Saturday evening in La Liga. The French international breaks a rather remarkable record…
Antoine Griezmann is visibly unstoppable! The 2018 world champion won Atlético de Madrid when they visited Mallorca (1-0), Saturday evening at the Civitas Metropolitano, for the 14th day of La Liga. A victory which allows Diego Simeone’s men to take third place in the standings at Barça, with three points less than Girona, a leader who plays Monday against Bilbao.
With a superb header from a cross from Mario Hermoso (64th), “Grizi” scored his 13th goal in 16 matches this season with the Colchoneros. Remarkable for this French international who is now three goals away from becoming the top scorer in the history of the Madrid club (surpassing Luis Aragonés).
In the meantime, Griezmann has set himself a fairly significant record: he is the sole scorer in a La Liga match for the 24th time in his career. It’s now one game more than Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez. In this little game, Lionel Messi is third in this historic statistic, having been the sole scorer in a La Liga match on 18 occasions with Barça.
