Griezmann Hits 200th Atlético Madrid Goal as Team Cruises to UCL Victory

After scoring, Griezmann held up a jersey with the No. 200 and the nickname "Grizi" on the back.

"I'm happy and very proud to have reached this mark," Griezmann said. "It wasn't easy."

The France forward also had a goal disallowed for a handball in the 67th minute and got a standing ovation from the crowd at Metropolitano stadium when he was substituted in the final minutes.

Griezmann became Atlético's top scorer all-time when he netted against Real Madrid in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup in January 2024 to surpass Luis Aragonés' 173 goals. He scored his first goal of the season in the Madrid derby on Saturday in Atlético's 5-2 rout of their crosstown rival.

"The team has good momentum," Griezmann said. "We have to stay on this path."

Griezmann is in his 10th season with Atlético. His first stint with the club was from 2014-19 before joining Barcelona for what were two mostly disappointing seasons before returning to Atlético in 2021 on a one-year loan that was eventually extended.

He recently had his contract with Atlético extended until 2027.
