An assist and a goal. Here is the very clean copy made by Antoine Griezmann this Sunday evening at the Wanda Metropolitano against Villarreal for the 13th day of La Liga. The same morning, the Blues coach assumed that the Mâconnais was his “favorite”. Did these words of affection boost the number 7 of the France team? Maybe. In any case, “Grizou” was able to revive his team, well on their way to conceding the draw.
Diego Simeone’s players were first picked off by their evening opponents, Gerard Moreno scoring his sixth goal in his last five league matches in the 20th minute. Just before the break, Atletico managed to equalize thanks to Belgian Axel Witsel, receiving a cross from Griezmann. The latter turned into a scorer at the end of the match, concluding a superb action launched by Koke. The Spanish midfielder manages to find Llorente, well launched on the side, who crosses in first intention for the Frenchman who then scores his 169th goal with the Colchoneros. Griezmann has never been so close to breaking the record of legend Luis Aragones, who scored 173 times with Atletico between 1964 and 1974.
In the process, Atletico scored the 3-1 goal by Samuel Lino and sealed the club’s fifteenth consecutive victory at home, a record. Thanks to this success, the “Grizou” teammates remain fourth with 28 points and are four points ahead of Athletic Bilbao. Ahead of them, Girona is still in great shape, at the top of La Liga (34 points), ahead of Real Madrid (32) and Barça (30).
