Just a week ago, Antoine Griezmann officially signed with Atlético Madrid, and last night (Saturday) in a 0:1 victory over Athletic Bilbao, he started to pay off the bills, after once again scoring a winning goal that lifted the Reds and Whites to third place in the league.
If that wasn't enough, the French striker's goal was his 100th for the team in the Spanish league.
Along with 45 more goals in the various formats, he reached the balance of 145 goals and 59 assists in all formats during his career in Madrid.

Griezmann, who signed until 2026 with Simeone's team, scored his fifth goal of the season in all competitions, four of which led to victory.
At the beginning of the season, the striker came on as a substitute in most of the games due to a clause in the contract with Barcelona in which Atlético would not be obliged to pay his purchase clause according to the amount of minutes he played if he played a certain amount.
Now, with his official signing, the Frenchman is back to being a significant team player and returns with great output.
Diego Simeone concluded for the French star: "Antoine is a part of us. He is an important player in the team and I am sure he will give us many moments and goals in the coming years. I am happy for the victory, and happy that Griezmann is here with us."
