#2 Antoine Griezmann's contract renewal and form
French forward Antoine Griezmann put an end to rumours of him leaving Atletico Madrid, during the World Cup, when he announced that he will be staying with the Spanish club till 2023.
This was a huge shot in the arm for Atletico as the Frenchman has been a key player for them since signing prior to the 2014-2015 season. Griezmann has scored 25+ goals in each of the four seasons that he has played for the club, and with the confidence of winning the club, he could propel the Los Rojiblancos to the 11th La Liga title, and his first.
Griezmann scored 4 goals and had 2 assists in France's triumphant World Cup campaign, and won the Bronze Ball - the award for the third best player in the 2018 World Cup.
The French striker is just reaching his prime years, and with the quality players behind him in midfield, he will certainly be in the goals once again.
