Atletico Madrid had a player on par with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. It is Antoine Griezmann, a France national player that people think to have a quality as good as the both current mega superstar.
The comment was made by Ex Atletico and Barcelona player, David Villa.
It didn’t matter what people think about the level of the Griezmann, in fact, the statistics prove that the France man is very important for Atletico this season as he contributed 29 goals in 48 matches that he played for Atletico this season in all the competition.
“Griezmann is one of the best player in the world currently,” said the Spaniard.
“I had a few friends in the Atletico’s changing room. They are all impressed by Griezmann personality and as a football player. He is still young and still have a lot of times ahead as a striker and a potential player,” continued the New York City FC striker.
Griezmann is obviously one of Atletico Madrid trump card tonight in the semifinal of the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. The match will be played in Vicente Calderon Stadium. If there is a man that can carry Atletico on his shoulder and bring them to the Final, that man surely will be Antoine Griezmann.
Bayern Munich of course will not come to the Spain unprepared, Guardiola’s team is one of the best in the world of football right now. The manager himself had a lot of experiences of how the Spanish will play as he was a coach of Barcelona for few years before went for one season on sabbatical and come back as Bayern Munich boss.
Tonight will be Guardiola’s last two or last three Champions League matches as the Bavarian boss as he already confirmed to move to the Manchester City (another contender in this season Champions League) for the next season.
