During Atlético Madrid's great success on the Valladolid pitch this Saturday, “Grizou” distinguished himself with a splendid technical sequence.
Signed Antoine Griezmann. This Saturday during the 15th day of La Liga, the 2018 world champion scored his 5th goal of the season in the league. And what a goal! At the start of the second period, while Atlético Madrid was already leading 3-0 on the Valladolid pitch, “Grizou”, served by the Argentinian Julian Alvarez, concluded a magnificent collective action by the Colchoneros by carrying out a “roulette” control in a pivot then a dive shot with finesse. The former French international (137 caps, 44 goals), retired in Blue since September, was even given a standing ovation by the opposing public after this high-class gesture.
Clément Lenglet, defender in Diego Simeone's team, opened the scoring in this game (26th). Finally winning 5-0, Atlético Madrid returned to the title race by temporarily moving up to second place, two points behind FC Barcelona, surprised by Las Palmas (1-2) at the start of the day.
