Champions League: Antoine Griezmann, ever closer to the stars

Antoine Griezmann again and again. The Frenchman, who had been silent for three matches with Atlético, found the net again on Wednesday evening during the Colchoneros' victory against Lazio Rome (2-0) at the Metropolitano. The 2018 world champion launched his team perfectly from the 6th minute of the match, his 5th achievement in this group stage of the Champions League, his 14th of the season (TCC).

The former Barça striker is quite simply co-best director of the competition alongside Erling Haaland, Rasmus Hojlund and his teammate Alvaro Morata. Just that. Thanks to this success, Diego Simeone's men, who finished undefeated in this group E, qualified for the round of 16 and "Grizou" moved a little closer to Luis Aragones' goals record in the Rojiblancos jersey . The Blues midfielder (171 goals) is now two points behind the Spaniard, three away from overtaking him and becoming the top scorer in the history of the Madrid club.

“It’s true that at the moment I am closer to the goal, to the surface. Last season, I was more in the creation of the game. I try to help the team with goals and with work as usual, but I have this desire to do it,” reacted the Mâconnais at the microphone of RMC Sport at the end of the meeting, he who is already the most prolific player in the history of the Colchoneros in C1 with 31 goals. The French striker, in sparkling form since last season, was taken out at half-time by his Argentine coach, who does not want to take any risks with his playing master. We understand it...

By winning this Wednesday evening against Lazio, Atlético extends its unbeaten streak at home. The current third in La Liga have not suffered defeat in 20 matches in their home, all competitions combined. The Colchoneros equal their historic record in this area, which was established between 2012 and 2013, already under the orders of Diego Simeone. But at that time, Atlético played at the Vicente Calderon stadium. One thing is certain, the task will be tough for the team that will inherit Atlético in the draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League on Monday. Antoine Griezmann, currently focused on Luis Aragones' goals record, could find... PSG, of its captain in the French team, a certain Kylian Mbappé.
