Griezmann Leads Atletico to Dream Champions League Semi-Final
15 Apr
Summary
- Antoine Griezmann will leave Atletico Madrid at the end of the season.
- Atletico Madrid advanced to their first Champions League semi-final in nine years.
- Griezmann aims for a historic trophy farewell in his final matches.
Antoine Griezmann is cherishing the possibility of a dream send-off following Atletico Madrid's advancement to their first Champions League semi-final in nine years. The team secured their spot on Tuesday by overcoming Barcelona with a 3-2 aggregate win, despite a 2-1 home loss.
Griezmann, who has announced his departure for Orlando City at the end of the season, has been a pivotal figure for Atletico since 2014. He holds the club record with 211 goals and 97 assists, though major silverware has been limited to the 2018 Europa League.
Atletico now faces a semi-final against either Arsenal or Sporting. This achievement places them just two matches away from a Champions League final, a stage they last reached in 2014 and 2016. The team also has a chance for domestic glory in the Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad.
