If there's one thing that defines Antoine Greizmann it's his striking abilities, however he has come to embody much more than that for Atletico Madrid. His nine goals have been instrumental in helping Diego Simeone to maintain Atleti's level, allowing them to continue to rub shoulders with the most powerful teams in the world - even causing them to bite the dust in the case of Bayern Munich. But it's Griezmann's hard-working values that are fundamental to the team and the way in which they play. For example, when he first had the chance to equal Luis Aragones' Atleti record against PSV, he passed up the chance, preferring to set up Kevin Gameiro. In the next passage of play, he ran over 60 metres to stop the Dutch side from equalising in the Estadio Vicente Calderon. He would, eventually, become the mattress makers highest-ever scorer in European competition later in the game, but not that he cared to wallow in the adulation when there was defending to be done. That attitude, beyond his goals or assists, is what captivates both his teammates and his coaches.
He is respected by colleagues and opponents alike and that he is the striker who has run the most in the current edition of the Champions League says much as to what the Frenchman is all about.After scoring a goal, Griezmann almost always celebrates by referencing Drake's hotline bling, and this scene is then repeated in several different episodes throughout the advert. Fresh off a Champions League goal against PSV, Griezmann will hope to continue that form of celebration on the weekend and in fixtures to come.The former Rojiblancos boss played 21 European Cup games for the club from September 1966 to May 1974, scoring 12 times, with three famously coming against Cagliari on November 5, 1970 at the Vicente Calderon.Griezmann's first Champions League game for Atletico came against Olympiacos on September 16, 2014, a match in which he also scored his first goal. In his 27th match, against PSV, the Frenchman equalled Aragones' total. Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa and the Brazilian star, Vava, are next in line with eight each.
