Antoine Griezmann joins Barcelona & Real Madrid stars in exclusive 3-man Champions League club | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid star Antoine Griezmann on Wednesday secured for himself a place in an exclusive goalscoring club.

As much came by way of the Frenchman’s efforts in Atlético’s Champions League meeting with Slovan Bratislava.

Diego Simeone’s troops are fresh off a comfortable victory on the continent last night, which saw summer signing Julián Alvarez open the scoring en route to an eventual 3-1 result.

From here, though, it was the aformentioned Griezmann who stole the headlines, notching a brace for the 2nd game in succession to take the Rojiblancos’ win streak to a hefty 10 games across all competitions.

As alluded to above, though, the 33-year-old’s latest exploits in front of goal did not only prove significant from a collective standpoint.

In addition, they proved enough to add Griezmann’s name to an exclusive list.

As revealed by statisticians StatMuse, only three La Liga players have scored 10 or more goals across the last two Champions League campaigns – Robert Lewandowski, Vinícius Jr, and now, Antoine Griezmann.
