Taking advantage of the reception of Slovan Bratislava, Antoine Griezmann delivered a new recital, concluded with a double. Enough to confirm that he is one of the fittest players at the moment and to give Didier Deschamps some regrets.
Atletico Madrid is no longer stopping. Three days after their stunning victory against Sevilla FC, the Colchoneros spent a much quieter evening against Slovan Bratislava. Perfectly launched by Julian Alvarez, scorer after a quarter of an hour of play, Diego Simeone's men won 3-1, thus signing a tenth success in a row in all competitions and moving a little closer to qualification.
And once again, Antoine Griezmann will have been the first architect of this new victory. Already the author of a double on Sunday against the Sevillians, the French world champion did it again with two new goals, the first just before the break, the second on the hour mark. “It’s a beautiful evening,
could well have said the former Barcelona player when receiving his Man of the Match trophy. These are three important points and we must continue on the same path. »
“The fittest player in the world”
This new XXL performance will not change the mind of Vladimir Weiss, the coach of Slovan Bratislava. The latter had made the Frenchman the number one danger for his team. Griezmann is the fittest player in the worldhe said in a pre-match press conference. He is an incredible player with extraordinary qualities who scored goals that will go down in history. We all lived in the era of Ronaldo and Messi. Then there is the category of fantastic and extraordinary players and Griezmann belongs to this category. »
The form displayed by Antoine Griezmann, on the other hand, will give regrets to the France team, forced to compose without its historic number 7 since the start of the fall. The Mâconnais has in fact decided to put an end to his international career and for many, the announcement of this retirement, while the World Cup in the United States is looming, owes a lot to the treatment inflicted on him by Didier Deschamps since the 2022 World Cup. A lack of consideration paid at a high price by the Blues.
