Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann, now that he has won over the Colchonero fans back, is not only their best forward, but also perhaps their most entertaining character.
On Thursday night, Griezmann was at the heart of Atletico’s 2-0 win over Osasuna, scoring their first. It follows on from his goal against Real Madrid, making it three in his last four La Liga games.
He was asked after the match what the reason for his improvement was.
“I’ve signed myself on fantasy, so that’s given me a boost,” was his comical response.
Antoine Griezmann, how would you explain your improved form?

Diego Simeone will be hoping that his form continues. After Alvaro Morata was sent off against Osasuna, Griezmann is the only natural forward, and even he isn’t a natural number nine.
Following Memphis Depay’s injury and Angel Correa being ruled out, Morata and Griezmann are the only forwards left for Atletico until the international break. They face Cadiz on Sunday, before Feyenoord and Real Sociedad before the break.
