Ever since his transfer from Real Sociedad to Atletico in 2014, Antoine Griezmann has maintained the rather impressive record of scoring at least 20 goals in all competitions in each of his five seasons at the Vicente Calderon/Wanda Metropolitano.

His highest tally came in the 2015/2016 season when he scored 32 goals from 54 matches in all competitions to help the capital club make it to the final of the Champions League and this form was enough to see him named as the third best player in the world that year.

In total, his spell at Atletico Madrid saw him score 133 goals from 257 matches in all competitions which came at a rather impressive rate of over a goal every two matches and his tally is made the more impressive when you consider that Diego Simeone’s side is more focused on defensive solidity than attacking impetus.

Given the improvement in quality of players and expansive football at Barcelona, it can only be expected that Griezmann would post better numbers at Nou Camp.
