Author of a hat-trick, French international Antoine Griezmann allowed Atletico Madrid to sign a fifth consecutive victory in La Liga on Saturday against Celta Vigo (3-0), during the tenth day of the Spanish championship.
Full of confidence, the 2018 world champion first struck from a penalty (29th, 1-0) and doubled the lead in the second half with a little success (64th, 2-0), before offering himself a third goal from the left on a cross from Molina (70th, 3-0).
Atletico Madrid, which still has a game in hand, takes second place and returns to three points behind Real, while awaiting the meetings of Girona (3rd, 22 points) and FC Barcelona (4th, 21 points), which receive respectively Almeria and Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
