Author of a magnificent assist, Antoine Griezmann was unable to avoid the draw (1-1) between Atletico and Real Sociedad.
Atletico Madrid have undoubtedly already said goodbye to the title. This may seem a little pessimistic this early in the season, but the consequences of the draw (1-1) on Real Sociedad’s pitch are quite clear. The Colchoneros are now 7 points behind the steamroller that is FC Barcelona, winner at Alaves (0-3) earlier in the day and are also four points behind Real Madrid.
Atleti, however, believed they had a great success on Basque soil on Sunday, at the end of the 9th day of La Liga. And it was with a real gem that the match began, with Antoine Griezmann in the role of the giver of gifts. The recent retiree from the France team combined magnificently with Julian Alvarez by delivering an absolutely sumptuous heel to allow the Argentinian to open the scoring after less than a minute of play (0-1, 1st).
Without another marvelous goal, that of Luka Sucic to equalize just over five minutes from the end on a curling and uncontrolled shot towards the opposite corner, Atletico Madrid would have left San Sebastian with the three points.
