Olympic Games 2024: Antoine Dupont as a superstar and a great atmosphere in Toulouse for the flame
Antoine Griezmann is on cloud nine. Scorer of his 9th goal of the season in La Liga on Saturday, during Atlético Madrid's victory at home against Mallorca (1-0), the midfielder never ceases to impress. At 32 years old, and as he puts on his European costume this Tuesday with a trip to the pitch at Feyenoord Rotterdam (9 p.m.), the Frenchman is in the form of his life.
By offering success to the Colchoneros this weekend, the vice-captain of the Blues came even closer to the record of Luis Aragones, the top scorer in the history of the Madrid club. Griezmann has 170 goals and is only three points behind the Spaniard. Asked by Marca after the match against Mallorca, his teammate Koke praised the Frenchman's performance. “He is going to be the story of Atlético Madrid. We are happy that he is on the pitch, I hope he continues at this pace. The French international wanted to respond to his partner, not wanting to (too much) pull the cover on him. “Today, the most important thing is Koke's 600 matches. He’s a very good friend and it’s special to experience him alongside him,” admitted Griezmann, humbled.

The dazzling form of the native of Mâcon is not new. The “Little Prince” has been walking on water since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he reminded all his detractors that he was the very definition of a versatile player. Griezmann had an exceptional World Cup, being equally good in attack, in the middle... and in defense. A total player. “Grizou” rode this incredible dynamic last season, signing 15 goals and 17 assists in La Liga. Just that. The Frenchman has once again become the “darling” of Atlético Madrid supporters, with whom he had been at odds since his departure for FC Barcelona in 2019.
Griezmann is also essential in the eyes of his coach, Diego Simeone. “It’s hard to think about releasing it. It's a shame he still plays 90 minutes. But he feels better playing. In the first half, he wasn't in the best mood but he was still very good. there is always something special that can appear at any time in the match with him,” explained the Argentinian coach of the Colchoneros after the victory against Mallorca. The latter had already praised his N.7 a few weeks ago, emphasizing that he was the best asset of his team: “I had no doubt, when some did not want him to come back, about the fact that he was born to play for Atlético. He left, followed his path and managed to turn things around. He's hungry, he projects towards goal, he understands what's expected of him when he plays in midfield, he gives assists... I'm lucky to have a player like Griezmann. There is no doubt that he will be one of the best players in the club's history. He reads the game to bring balance and compensation for the whole team.”
Griezmann's secret? He loves football, that’s all. The 2018 world champion shared some confidences on November 7 after the Rojiblancos' big victory against Celtic Glasgow in C1 (6-0). “I am full of confidence. I'm enjoying being here a lot so we have to continue. The secret is that I love football and I enjoy it a lot. I played as a midfielder, I try to do what a midfielder does: scratch balls, pass, get into the opponent's area. I'm trying to do what everyone should do in this position, I'm learning. It doesn't matter what my position is. I watch a lot of football to learn two or three movements that need to be done and then imbue it with my sauce.
“Grizou” still has a few years ahead of him to make the best days of Atlético Madrid and the French team, where he has scored a total of 44 goals and fully satisfies his coach Didier Deschamps. “DD” did not fail, two weeks ago at the Téléfoot microphone, to highlight the extraordinary longevity of his “darling”: “He doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. From the moment he is confident, he is radiant and resplendent. Even though he takes a beating, he's solid as a rock. No one is irreplaceable but it is about making sure that they are indispensable and over the years he has made sure to be so.” At the age of 32, the “Little Prince” became King.
