Not Bellingham, the best player in La Liga who has better stats than Messi and Ronaldo

This player is shining more than ever in the Spanish league. The curious thing is that he is neither from Real Madrid nor from FC Barcelona. In fact, he even played for FC Barcelona but it didn’t go well and they sent him back.

It’s about Antoine Griezmann, the 32-year-old French footballer for Atlético de Madrid, is an example of the impact that mentality has on a player. After a few seasons at FC Barcelona where he passed without pain or glory, he returned to the colchonero where he is showing some impressive numbers, probably the best of his career.

The French attacker is Atlético de Madrid’s franchise player and the club makes it known, as it does not skimp on its praise. Antoine Griezmann’s figures in the 2023/2024 season speak for themselves. The Frenchman has played 11 games and has conceded an incredible 8 goals, a scoring average of 0.73, truly crazy.

But it doesn’t end there, Antoine Griezmann has surpassed Fernando Torres as the player who scored the most points with his goals against Atlético de Madrid in the entire history of La Liga, according to Misterchip. With a total of 81 points contributed by goals from the French attacker. In the current squad, he is followed by Ángel Correa with 52 points.

After his time at FC Barcelona, where it is worth clarifying that his numbers were always respectable, Antoine Griezmann returned to Atlético de Madrid on loan, and had a first season with little participation, which did not please the player. However, after playing in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and finishing runner-up with the French team, he returned with a new mentality.

When does Griezmann play in the Champions League?

That Tuesday the UEFA Champions League returns, finally. This Wednesday Atletico de Madrid plays against Celtic Glasgow, in a match that corresponds to gameweek number 3 of group E.
