The Frenchman had a fruitful month, yet it was not enough to help Atletico Madrid mount a title challenge. Diego Simeone’s men played a near flawless month of April, only to come short against their title rivals as Barcelona were too ruthless in their quest for glory. However, it did help Griezmann climb three places to 7th in the rankings at the start of May. Sadly, it is too little too late for the Frenchman as it is impossible for him now to win the Golden Boot.

Griezmann started in five of the six games in April, and scored three goals – against Girona, Celta Vigo and Valencia. Atletico Madrid won five of the six games in the month, facing defeat only at the hands of Barcelona at the Camp Nou, a game where Griezmann failed to find the back of the net.

At the start of May, the Frenchman has 15 goals from 34 games in La Liga and has also registered 9 assists in the league. He is averaging a goal every 195 minutes played.
