Antoine Griezmann definitely enters the legend of Atlético! Author of a double against Getafe on the 18th day of La Liga (3-3), the 2018 world champion scored his 172nd and 173rd goals in the Colchoneros jersey. He thus joins Luis Aragonés as top scorer in the club’s history.
At the rate at which he is scoring this season – 11 goals in 17 league games – Antoine Griezmann should soon overtake his predecessor. Luis Aragonés, who died in 2014 at the age of 75, spent ten years at Atlético de Madrid, between 1964 and 1974. He won three league titles with his club in 1966, 1970 and 1973, and is then became the coach.
Save this tweet. It’s a tweet for history.

His double did not allow the Colchoneros to win (3-3), but Antoine Griezmann’s feat was praised by the club in the Spanish capital on social networks. “Save this tweet. It’s a tweet for history,” writes Atlético de Madrid above a visual that places the two men side by side, red and white jerseys on their backs. “It’s a little obsession,” the number 7 of the Blues had conceded about this record a few weeks ago.
Flamboyant for five years with Atlético between 2014 and 2019, then ridiculed upon his return from FC Barcelona in September 2021, Antoine Griezmann had to wait until the fall of 2022 to be bought definitively by his club. He has since once again become one of the favorites of the Civitas Metropolitano public.
