Atlético star Griezmann joins Ronaldo & Lewandowski in exclusive UCL club | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid star Antoine Griezmann on Tuesday evening joined an altogether exclusive European club.

This comes owing to his exploits in Atléti’s Champions League meeting with Sparta Praha.

Diego Simeone’s troops marked their return to action on the continent a short time ago, making the trip to the Czech apital for a showdown with Sparta.

When all was said and done, the Rojiblancos emerged dominant victors, by a scoreline of six goals to nil.

Julián Alvarez proved himself the star of the show, notching a fine brace, with Marcos Llorente and substitute Ángel Correa (2) having been on target, too.

As alluded to above, though, it was Atlético icon Antoine Griezmann who tonight secured for himself a piece of history.

As revealed by statisticians Opta, after notching his side’s 4th of the clash, frontman Griezmann became ‘the seventh player to score on his 100th Champions League appearance after Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andrea Pirlo, Toni Kroos and Robert Lewandowski’.
