Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann netted an exceptional individual goal in the 100th minute of their Copa del Rey clash with Real Madrid, helping his side get revenge for last week’s Supercopa defeat. Atletico emerged victorious with a 4-2 scoreline, securing their way to the next round of the competition.
The 32-year-old Frenchman is having an outstanding season at the Spanish capital, scoring 18 goals and assisting four in 28 appearances for the club. Further, Griezmann holds the record as Atletico Madrid‘s all-time leading goalscorer. And yet another solid performance from him saw Los Colchoneros defeat city rivals Real Madrid 4-2 at the Metropolitano Stadium.
It was revenge well taken following a disappointing 5-3 loss to Los Blancos in the Spanish Supercopa semifinals last week. The win propelled Atletico to the last-eight of the Copa del Rey.
In the 100th minute of extra time, the 2018 World Cup winner, Griezmann, scored a spectacular goal, leaving fans amazed. He skillfully took the ball from Vinicius Jr, ran into the penalty box, held off the Brazilian, and scored from a tight angle, leaving Real Madrid defenders clueless. Another goal in the 119th minute by Rodrigo Riquelme sealed the match for the home side.
The game was a thrilling six-goal encounter, featuring goals from Samuel Lino and Alvaro Morata for Atletico. The win gives Atletico a 2-1 advantage over their city rivals in the Madrid derby this season, as both sides prepare to face each other again on the 5th of February.
