Antoine Griezmann scores against Barcelona for the first time since 2016

On Tuesday, February 25, Barcelona faced Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, and a remarkable moment unfolded during the match.

Details: Atlético struck twice within the opening six minutes. First, Juan Álvarez found the net, and shortly after, Antoine Griezmann added his name to the scoresheet. For the French forward, this was his first goal against Barcelona since April 2016.

The last time Griezmann scored against Barça, he netted a brace in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Since then, he had failed to score against them—until now, as his long drought finally came to an end.

Reminder: The French forward could leave at the end of the season for an undisclosed MLS club. While Griezmann has not yet made a final decision.
