This Sunday, Antoine Griezmann was on the pitch at the Wanda Metropolitano. If the Frenchman was not decisive, he still reached a milestone with this draw (1-1) against Real Madrid, and is getting closer to a record held by Lionel Messi according to Opta Jean.
500. This is the number of matches played by Antoine Griezmann in La Liga. Between Real Sociedad, Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona, the French team player has come a long way, since August 29, 2009 and his first in the Spanish league against Villarreal.
This Sunday he became the 14th player to pass this bar, but only the second non-Spanish player. The other player with him? Lionel Messi, who has 520. Antoine Griezmann is therefore only 20 games played from equaling Lionel Messi’s record in La Liga.
In as many matches, “Grizou” compiles 192 goals and 93 assists. A madness when he only started in the league at the age of 18, and as we know everything has not always been rosy for the Frenchman, especially at Barça.
To continue in greatness, the Maconnais has never played a season with fewer than 29 championship matches. Consistent and exemplary, he is a legend of La Liga and French football.
