It's no longer a surprise to see Antoine Griezmann performing at his best level at Atlético de Madrid, although he still has goals to achieve on his list. The Frenchman will turn 34 years old in March and his future is still hanging in the air, although he has a contract until 2026. For now, it is evident that the player is enjoying the great moment and is experiencing a special season where he showcases his full repertoire on the field.
Last week, he was decisive both against Salzburg and Real Mallorca, reaching 15 goals and getting closer to Julián Alvarez. Everything indicates that tonight he will be a starter again in the attacking duo against Getafe, possibly joined by Alexander Sorloth. The colchonero team can make it to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey again, a title the world champion has already won with Barça.
Antoine Griezmann's Desire
The season for Atlético de Madrid is outstanding, improving on what was seen last season and staying in the fight for all titles. One of the keys is the good level maintained by Antoine Griezmann, who will soon turn 34 years old, being the team's second top scorer (15 goals). Right now, he has scored 196 goals with the rojiblanco team, in addition to having provided 84 assists in total.
One of his main objectives is to surpass 200 goals at Atlético de Madrid, something he will achieve this season barring a major surprise. He could also surpass 100 assists, although that task seems much more complicated considering his numbers in that aspect. Tonight he will regain his starting position against Getafe and that directly affects another of his great desires before ending his time at the Metropolitano.
Trophies to His Cabinet
Antoine Griezmann first joined the colchonero team in the summer of 2014, winning up to three titles in that first stage, but he doesn't want to settle. Evidently, the Frenchman has his sights set on winning both LaLiga and the Champions League, something he was very close to in the 2016 final. He is also focused on the Copa del Rey, a trophy he was able to lift with Barça during his time as a blaugrana, although he wants to win it as a colchonero.
He has only played two semifinals with Atlético de Madrid, falling in the first against FC Barcelona and the second last season against Athletic Club. Today he has a new opportunity to reach that round, which will now be played in a two-legged format, abandoning the single-match elimination format. He still has many goals to achieve and, therefore, talking about his future makes no sense, as he hasn't made a decision.
