We all know just how good Antoine Griezmann is. Thereâs no need to reveal that.One of the best attackers in world football, the French international is constantly linked with a move to a âbiggerâ club than heâs currently at - Atletico Madrid, who have appeared in two of the last three Champions League finals.But even if Atleti have had success recently enough, this season theyâre starting to look like things arenât as rosy as they have been. They may still excel in the Champions League, but there looks to be no chance of repeating their unlikely 2013/14 La Liga triumph.Yet Griezmann is still firing, and this weekend was no different. Two goals in his sideâs 3-0 win over Valencia got the juices flowing ahead of next weekâs Champions League last 16 second leg against Bayer Leverkusen - who conceded six goals this weekend - brought his tally to 55 goals for Atletico Madrid since he joined.
That wasnât the only impressive part of his performance, though. His two goals came from seven shots, showing his value to his side as an attacking force, but he wasnât just getting on the end of his sideâs moves: his three key passes and 90% pass success rate show that he has an all-round ability to his game, making him perfect for whichever team do decide to come in for him.
Jose Mourinho and Manchester United will have liked what they saw, and an Independent exclusive reported in February that he is a transfer target, though just today the same newspaper have claimed that whilst United are still interested, they are moving on to new targets due to the difficulties in signing Griezmann this summer.
Wherever Griezmann plays his football next season, heâs sure to light up the stage.
