Love is in the air in Spain today – while traditionally Valentine’s Day tends to be a more anglophone celebration, it has been a theme amongst the premier footballers. Not for the first time this season, Antoine Griezmann is the apple of someone’s eye.
After Brahim Diaz produced a brilliant winner for Real Madrid against RB Leipzig, he revealed his Valentine’s Day love to the media. Today, Antoine Griezmann was called into a meeting room for a gift from none other than teammate Memphis Depay. The Dutchman presented him with an expensive looking gold ring, bearing a number 7 and looking not dissimilar to a Superbowl ring – Griezmann is a fan of the NFL.
It is #ValentinesDay.
With love, from Memphis, to Antoine Griezmann. #AtleticoMadrid. pic.twitter.com/GR1qnZBfPC

Griezmann became Atletico Madrid’s top scorer in their history this season, surpassing Luis Aragones, drawing him even closer to the adoring Metropolitano.
It’s been a celebratory week for Memphis, who on Tuesday celebrated his 30th birthday in Madrid by inviting the whole squad to a privately catered dinner.
🇳🇱🎂 Memphis Depay invited the whole team to dinner last night for his 30th birthday.
Players like Paul Pogba also attended.
