Griezmann's Goal Stats at Atlético Madrid: An Analysis
Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has been in fine form this season, scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists in all competitions so far. However, his goal-scoring record is not as impressive as it seems.
In the first half of the season, Griezmann scored 7 goals and provided one assist in just 6 games. In contrast, he has scored 5 goals and provided three assists in the last 12 games. This suggests that his form has been inconsistent throughout the season.
Additionally, Griezmann's goal-scoring record also includes some controversial moments. For example, he scored a hat-trick against Real Sociedad in January,Chinese Super League Matches but the goal was later ruled out due to offside. He also scored a brace against Real Betis in February, but the goal was also controversially disallowed for offside.
Furthermore, Griezmann's goals have come mostly from set-pieces. He has scored 4 goals from free-kicks and 1 goal from a penalty kick. However, his other goals have come mainly from close-range finishes and crosses.
Overall, while Griezmann has been a key player for Atletico Madrid this season, his inconsistency and reliance on set-piece goals means that his overall goal-scoring record is not as impressive as it seems.
