After two complicated seasons at FC Barcelona , Antoine Griezmann finally returned to Atlético de Madrid during the last summer transfer window. The two clubs have agreed on a loan with an option to buy, which will make the Frenchman's final transfer almost certain. The latter struggled to find his marks with the Colchoneros, but Antoine Griezmann has finally managed to silence the critics and be decisive, as shown by his 7 goals and 3 assists since his return. While Atlético will face Real Madrid this Sunday, Diego Simeone is returned to the importance of the tricolor world champion in his team, and does not hide his joy at being able to count on him.
“Antoine has always wanted to come back and he's where he wants to be”
“Antoine has always wanted to come back and he's where he wants to be. I hope he can continue to improve, because we need him, especially since the efforts he has maintained in the last matches. Everything he has in terms of talent, no one will be able to take away from him. This is what sets him apart: talent, sacrifice and effort, as well as knowing how to fight and play anywhere on the pitch, ”said the coach of Atlético de Madrid at a press conference, in remarks relayed by Cope.
