According to the report from football-espana, Atletico Madrid witnessed a historic night at the Metropolitano on Tuesday, as they witnessed the top goalscorer in the history of the club in action. Griezmann started the match on 171 goals, two short of record-holder and club legend Luis Aragones, and moved level with him in a crazy encounter with Getafe.InformationGuideNigeria

That put him one short, and the anticipation could be felt in the stands when he took the ball to attempt a penalty against David Soria. Griezmann hammered it home, and while Soria got a hand to it, the Frenchman was already sprinting towards Diego Simeone as the two shared an iconic moment, one that will be replayed again and again.JAMB Portal
