VIDEO: Griezmann shines with two goals to lead the win against Betis! He also scored directly from the corner flag

Antoine Griezmann may be past his prime, but he can still be an important player for Atlético Madrid. He showed that in Sunday’s match at Betis, when he scored two goals.

Atlético Madrid will probably not be able to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona this season either. The city rival in particular has a solid points lead of nine points after eleven rounds played.

However, they must not give up. The fight for the European Cup and especially the Champions League will not be easy. That is why Sunday’s game against Betis was very important for Atlético, who, if they win, would leapfrog the Madrid team in the table.

However, Antoine Griezmann did not allow that to happen. He is not playing badly at all this season. He already has the same numbers in the league as he had last season. And his performance against Betis helped him do that.

The French striker scored twice in the Betis net to lead the 2-1 victory. Especially his first goal is worth mentioning, as he scored directly from a corner kick in the 54th minute of the match.

The second goal was scored by Griezmann after a pass from Matheus Cunha in the 71st minute. For Betis, Nabil Fekir only reduced the score to the final 1:2 in the 84th minute.
