Griezmann Signs with Orlando City for MLS Move: Farewell to Atletico Madrid in July

A Legendary Farewell to Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid’s farewell marks the end of an era for Antoine Griezmann. Having joined the club in 2014 from Real Sociedad, Griezmann established himself as the team’s all-time leading scorer with 211 goals and ranks fourth in total appearances with 488. During his tenure with the “Colchoneros,” he secured the Spanish Super Cup in 2014, the Europa League in 2018, and the UEFA Super Cup in the same year. This period also included a two-year spell at FC Barcelona between 2019 and 2021, before his return to Madrid. Now, at 35, Griezmann is set to embark on a fresh challenge across the Atlantic, with the ambition of making a significant impact in Major League Soccer and maintaining his prominence away from European football.
