Griezmann surpasses Torres as 5th top scorer in Atleti history
Our striker scored the winner against Rayo Vallecano and surpassed Fernando Torres as our club's fifth ever goalscorer.
Antoine Griezmann on Saturday surpassed Fernando Torres as Atleti's fifth ever goalscorer with 130 goals. The Frenchman scored the winner in the LaLiga match against Rayo Vallecano.
Our number 7, who netted his first goal for our club on Sep. 16, 2014 against Olympiakos, has scored some very important goals such as the first one ever at the Wanda Metropolitano against Málaga, his two strikes against Olympique Marseille in the 2018 Europa League final, his hat-tricks against Athletic Club and Sevilla or his four goals against Leganés on Feb. 28, 2018. All these goals will go down in Atleti history. Four years and five months after his opener, the Frenchman reached his 129th goal against Real Madrid and on Saturday scored his 130th goal, thus surpassing Torres.
With his goal against Rayo Vallecano, Griezmann's tally now stands at 91 goals in LaLiga, 21 in the Champions League, six in the Europa League and 12 in the Copa del Rey. Ahead of him remain Luis Aragonés (172 goals), Escudero (169), Campos (146) and Gárate (136).
Bravo, Antoine!
