Antoine Griezmann has once again proven himself as Atlético Madrid's ultimate joker. In the 2025/26 La Liga season, the Frenchman has already netted five goals—and every single one has come after coming off the bench.
Details: According to Opta, this statistic makes the Madrid striker the most prolific super sub across all teams in Europe's top 5 leagues this season. No other player in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, or France has scored more goals as a substitute.
Griezmann entered the pitch in the 59th minute, replacing Argentine forward Julián Álvarez with the score at 1-1, and by the 74th minute, he had already put Atlético ahead. What's more, he could have registered an assist for Alexander Sørloth, but after a VAR review, the referee disallowed the goal.
This season, the legendary Frenchman has played 23 matches for Atlético across all competitions, scoring six goals and providing one assist.
Reminder: Atlético striker Julián Álvarez responded to transfer rumors, stating that they don't bother him.
