It’s a reward to honor his impressive season with Atlético Madrid. Antoine Griezmann was named best player in La Liga for the 2022-2023 financial year by the sports newspaper “As” during a ceremony organized this Monday at the Royal Theater in the Spanish capital.
The Blues striker, world champion in 2018, was rewarded for his performances in the Colchoneros jersey which brought the club to third place in the championship last season, where the tricolor finished best passer and fourth best scorer.
“The best player in the world at the moment”, as presented by “As” in the article dedicated to him, arrived after training to receive his prize. “It makes me very happy and proud. I thank my partners, slipped the vice-captain of the France team. I think my joy and my level of play show it (that he is happy at Atlético). I’m on the right path. »
“I’m looking forward to 2024”
“I’m looking forward to 2024. We know that La Liga is long. There are good times and bad times, but you have to be strong. I hope we can win the last two games (of the year),” continued the man whose team welcomes Getafe on Tuesday in the league. If successful, Griezmann and his partners would take third place at FC Barcelona.
Besides La Liga, where he is currently third top scorer, the Frenchman has ambitions in the Champions League. Atlético de Madrid came first in their group and will face Inter Milan, finalist last season, in the round of 16.
But the former Real Sociedad player, future opponent of PSG in C1, also has ambitions with the Blues. At the Euro in Germany, where France will be favorite, first of all. But also at the Paris Olympic Games, which “Grizou” intends to compete in.
