He himself admitted that this record number of goals scored was “a little obsession”. It’s been done since this Wednesday evening: Antoine Griezmann has become the top scorer in the history of Atlético Madrid with 174 goals.
His team lost 5 goals to 3 against Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, but the Frenchman was still able to express his satisfaction after the match. “It’s a mixture of several emotions,” he admitted in images shared by his club. There is sadness after defeat and pride and joy at having surpassed that record. »
“At the end of the match, I was very moved, I was on the verge of tears,” he continued. But I had to concentrate on the match. It’s a shame because we’ve conceded a lot of goals recently, especially at Girona. It’s something we need to improve and I’m not just talking about the defenders but I’m talking about the whole team. We need to be more involved defensively and win more duels, that’s the only way to improve defensively. »
Antoine Griezmann and his teammates will return to Real Madrid next week, with a knockout round of the Copa del Rey to be played this time at home. In the championship, Diego Simeone’s men occupy fifth place.
