According to the report from football-espana, last Wednesday was a momentous day for Antoine Griezmann, as he scored his 174th goal in Atletico Madrid colours during the Spanish Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid in Riyadh. In doing so, he outright became the club’s all-time top goalscorer, surpassing the legendary figure of Luis Aragones (173).informationguidenigeria
Speaking during an interview on “Pantomima Full” (via MD), Griezmann reflected on the goal that saw him enter the Atleti history books. Surprisingly, he felt that the strike was rather fortunate.JAMB Result

“I think we played a great game, but that’s the way it is, in the end we couldn’t be consistent until the end.

Griezmann will undoubtedly be Atletico Madrid’s main man going into the second Madrid derby in eight days. He will hope to grab goal number 175, although he would settle for a victory that would put Los Rojiblancos into the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.
