Griezmann Scores 200th Goal as Atlético Thrash Frankfurt 5-1 in CL
Atlético Madrid secured a resounding 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, with Antoine Griezmann scoring a historic goal in the process. The French forward reached a significant milestone in his career during the match at the Metropolitano stadium.
The game started with a bang for Atlético, as Giuliano Simeone's pass set up Giacomo Raspadori for the opening goal in just the 4th minute. This strike also marked Atlético's 200th goal in the Champions League. The home team continued to dominate, with Julian Alvarez converting a penalty in the 82nd minute and Robin Le Normand heading in from a corner in the 33rd minute.
Griezmann, however, had a goal disallowed in the 67th minute due to a handball. But he wasn't to be denied his moment. In the first minute of stoppage time, he scored his 200th goal for Atlético Madrid in all competitions, a milestone he celebrated by holding up a shirt with the number 200 and the inscription 'Grizi'. This goal, along with his earlier disallowed effort, completed his hat-trick on the night.
Giuliano Simeone added a fourth goal for Atlético in the 70th minute, and despite Jonathan Burkardt pulling one back for Frankfurt in the 57th minute, the home team ran out comfortable winners.
The victory sees Atlético Madrid top their Champions League group with two wins from two games. Griezmann's historic goal was the cherry on top of a dominant performance, highlighting his continued importance to the team. With this win, Atlético looks strong as they progress through the competition.
