Trophies and triumphs

He played a pivotal role in securing the Spanish Super Cup in 2014, the UEFA Europa League in 2018, where he scored a brace in the final against Olympique de Marseille and the UEFA Super Cup later that same year. His club success was mirrored on the international stage when he played a key role in France’s 2018 World Cup triumph in Russia.

In the current season, Griezmann has demonstrated his enduring quality, featuring in 53 matches and contributing 16 goals along with nine assists. His consistent performance underscores his importance to the team and his ability to influence games at the highest level.

Looking ahead

Griezmann has not only committed to Atletico’s immediate future but has also invested in its long-term vision. The 34-year-old’s experience and leadership are expected to be invaluable as the club continues to compete domestically and in Europe.

The extension means that one of the club’s iconic players will continue to don the red and white, adding a new chapter to an already illustrious career.
