And Antoine once again became the public’s darling. While Madrid is dressed in its Christmas clothes, Griezmann is distributing gifts for his club. Not something new in 2023, as the player was the man of the year here. 23 goals scored in all competitions. “We are really lucky that he is with us,” says Rubén, in his thirties, colchonero supporter.
On the side of Atlético, which faces FC Barcelona, this Sunday, December 3 (9 p.m.), if the place of best player in the world has never been discussed, we are preparing to celebrate the Frenchman. “And one less,” laughs one of the club’s employees, referring to Atlético de Madrid’s goalscoring record that the native of Mâcon is on the verge of beating. The brand, increased to 173 units, is the property of Luis Aragonés. A true local myth, the record will soon celebrate its 50th anniversary. With his goal against Mallorca in La Liga (1-0), Antoine Griezmann is at 170.
