    He Went from “Flop” to ELITE: How Griezmann has Become LaLiga’s Best ONCE AGAIN



    Antoine Griezmann’s move to Barcelona slowed his career down quite a bit, and his first season back at Atletico surely didn’t go how he had dreamed it. However, in his second season back at the club of his heart, Antoine Griezmann has evolved into a player that is arguably more complete than even his previous versions of himself. Griezmann is scoring less than he used to, but he is assisting far more, as his intelligence on the ball is being used to make Atletico a better attacking team.

    Why is it that Antoine Griezmann, Atletico and Simeone are such a perfect fit? What is it that makes Griezmann the perfect Simeone disciple? All of this and more answered in this video.

      Are u not gonna do a video on LaLiga as a whole, and how Vini have called the whole liga and every spanish person racist?

      Personally, I forgave Antoine after i saw him run all 90 mins against a third division team in Copa del Rey right before the world cup. We were 0-2 up maybe and he was still running like it was a champions league final. He had 0 need to put all that effort and risk his health for the world cup yet he still put his all in that pitch for 90 mins. I saw how much he actually cared for the badge and how much work he has done to earn our love again. Very glad to have him back.

      Greizmann is really a player who has gone under the radar its a shame cuz he is probably having one of if not his best seasons to date. also fair play to morata he's had a fairly decent season as well.

      My favorite player of all time. I’m so happy to see him thriving again. Watching him play is just such a privilege with how beautifully he plays. This man alone is carrying atlético on his shoulders. Credit to the rest of the team ofc but without griezmann they’re different and not in a good way tbh

      Liverpool, Dortmund and Atleti have done a number on Bartomeu lol good players but came for silly money and none of them were bought with a clear plan.

    12. Steven Cooke on

      Frankly, he should be a Ballon d'Or candidate. The way he shifted to being a defensive machine during the World Cup after being the scoring star for France previously is truly remarkable.

      BTW, Adrian looks like a God-figure sitting on his throne with the fern beside him and that refracted rainbow shining on the wall behind him.

      As a Barca fan I've always loved Grizzy. But Barca should have never signed him. Extremely poor squad planning from Barto's Board almost destroyed his career. Grizzy was employed at LW, except he's not a winger. He's not a 9 Like Suarez, and occupied the same spaces as Messi. It was never going to work. 🙃

      Griezmann and atletico are made in heaven for each other , He always said it was his home and where he belonged and Barca never needed him and he never even played his fruitful position , His work ethic and self-lessness makes him an elite player, One of the best of this decade for sure

      Love into the calderon, great articles there, very recommended. Griezzman has been incredible this season, best player in la liga this season in my opinion

    17. Anamitra Sikdar on

      Griezmann somehow managed to join Atletico Madrid twice and Barcelona just immediately after each of them had won a La Liga title and didn't win another during his stint at those clubs.

    18. Abdulla E A on

      From a Barca perspective Griezmann was the right player at the wrong time. Imagine griezy in the current Barca setup. He would have been much more effective

    20. Silvesta on

      I think Greizmann is arguably the best player in the world right now. He won’t win the Ballon D’or because of the popularity aspect of it and because Atleti didn’t win any silverware but he rally is on another level atm (I am shamelessly biased btw!)

    23. Eduardo Silveira on

      The fact that he was deployed at LW in Barcelona instead of number 10 or advanced 8 shows you just how lacking the managerial quality in Barca has been as of late

    24. Toba Epebinuade on

      Antoine Griezmann is one of the most underrated players in the world. When we talk about top class players his name is rarely brought up and is that because of a failed stint at Barcelona. He was never a good fit for them because he was a center forward/CAM but was forced to play out wide which wasn't his best fit and as a result, different managers couldn't fit him in the Barcelona side. He's been excellent across his 2 stints at Atletico Madrid and for the France national team has put up some brilliant performances. This season, he's looked rejuvenated and he's thriving at the role he had in his first stint, which was being the main man. It's great to see Antoine Griezmann back to his best and playing with confidence again for club and country after a difficult period at Barcelona.

    30. Kerim on

      Most of us Atleti fans have forgiven him. Everything goes through Grizi on offense. Hopefully we'll make some good transfers this summer and carry this form into the next season.

    32. Jideobi Odobulu on

      Barcelona have blood on their hands for this one. Why sign someone to then mis use him for years. He’s always been this good, he’s a world class footballer.

    34. zakwan10 on

      'the club he loves' oh please had his spell at Barcelona gone differently, he would have never looked back at Atlético.

    35. Robert Yi on

      It’s says a lot about who a player is around can impact your performance. His compat. Oz Dembele was that poor influence. Simple but truth. Life in general people around you can be toxic and assist you to make the wrong decisions in life.
