Decidedly, it does not stop any more. Confined to the bench at the start of the season, Antoine Griezmann has regained his place in Diego Simeone’s eleven and has once again become one of Atlético de Madrid’s major players. Against Betis Sevilla this Sunday, the tricolor striker (110 caps) delivered his team with a magnificent goal in the second half (54th).
The former Real Sociedad player scored from a direct corner from the right. Shot at the far post, the ball was deflected by Pezzella’s hip on the line but the goal was awarded to the Frenchman anyway.
Antoine Griezmann then worsened the score with the right foot, after a nice service from Cunha (70th), his fifth goal in La Liga this season. Less than a month from the World Cup, one of the strong men of Didier Deschamps has found a smile. This bodes well for the coach of the Blues, who has been counting his injuries recently.
