Antoine Griezmann has expressed his desire to win LaLiga or the Champions League. He has already experienced success with Atlético, winning the Supercopa de España, Europa League, and Europa League again in 2021. However, he is eager to leave the team with a major title. The Copa del Rey is also an important goal for him.
The upcoming match against Getafe is crucial, as a win would put Atlético in the semifinals for the second year in a row. Atlético has changed the recent history of derbies, and a victory would be a significant step towards achieving their goals. Griezmann has won trophies with Atlético, but not the major ones he desires. He did win the Copa del Rey in 2021, scoring in the final against Athletic.
Griezmann has been instrumental in Atlético’s success, scoring decisive goals, such as the one against Malaga that led to a 0-1 win. This victory helped Atlético advance to the next round of the Copa del Rey.
The San Mamés spine
The match against Athletic at San Mamés last year was a difficult one for Atlético, as they lost 3-0. Griezmann was unable to play due to an ankle injury and had to watch from the stands as his team struggled. However, he is now fully recovered and has scored three goals in the last two games. He hopes to lead his team to the final and win the title.
