No one at Atlético de Madrid this season, not even Julián Álvarez, has contributed to more goals than Antoine Griezmann. With 9 goals and 6 assists, he has been key, with a 34.9% involvement in the team's goals. His impact on the club was especially evident with his dramatic 94th-minute goal, sealing a 4-3 comeback victory against Sevilla FC at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Griezmann, the Undisputed Leader of Atlético

Antoine Griezmann not only scored the winning goal but also netted the crucial 2-3 in the 62nd minute, which was key to lifting Atlético after being 1-3 down. This season, he has been a decisive factor in other comebacks, such as against Leganés (3-1), Leipzig (2-1), and Alavés (2-1). In all of these victories, El Principito made his mark, cementing his place as the club's all-time top scorer with 188 goals and approaching the 200-goal milestone.

Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone praised Griezmann's talent and personality. "There are players who are different. He is one of them. He wasn't having a great first half, but with little he had already done a lot," Simeone commented after the win over Sevilla. The coach also highlighted Griezmann's performance in the second half, where, when positioned as a central midfielder, he showed his best level, arriving in the box and playing a key role in the goal that completed the comeback.

Griezmann's Statistical Impact

So far this season, Antoine Griezmann has scored 9 goals from 15 shots on target, boasting an impressive conversion rate. With an average of one goal every 3.77 shots, his numbers exceed expectations, as his "expected goals" tally assigned him 5.57 goals, meaning he has exceeded that by 3.43 extra goals. Griezmann has become the undisputed leader in Atlético de Madrid's offensive contributions, with 15 goals from goals and assists, followed by Julián Álvarez with 13 and Marcos Llorente with 8.

Samuel Lino, Griezmann's teammate at Atlético de Madrid, praised the French forward's humility and big heart, despite his success. "He is a spectacular player, the best I've played with, but the person is the most important for me," Lino said, who also played a key role in the 3-3 draw against Sevilla with a stunning long-range goal. Antoine Griezmann has been crucial in the current 9-match winning streak for Atlético de Madrid, their best run since December 2015. With 5 goals in these matches, Griezmann is shaping up to be a key player as the Madrid team continues its fight for the LaLiga title this season.
