Antoine Griezmann was treated to quite a surprise on Thursday prepared by Memphis Depay and Atlético. He received a ring, NBA style, engraved with his number.
Since joining Atlético de Madrid on January 20, 2023, Memphis Depay has gotten along like thieves with Antoine Griezmann. Having become friends off the field, the two men created an obvious bond and this understanding was once again illustrated this Wednesday. Eager to surprise his teammate, Memphis Depay summoned him to give him a mysterious box. When he opened it, “Grizou” had difficulty hiding his emotion.
The video of this gift giving was posted online by the Atlético communications team. We therefore see Antoine Griezmann entering a room where Memphis Depay and a few other people are waiting for him. In front of the Dutchman, a table. And on this table, a black box with an inscription: “ The little Prince », surrounding the number 7. The international tricolor opens it, and discovers a video retracing some of the highlights of his Madrid adventure.
” I’m going to cry “
Several elements are also present in this box, including another inscription: “ Best scorer in history “. Words referring to the 174 goals achieved on January 10 by the Frenchman in the colors of Atlético, making him the top scorer in the history of the Madrid club ahead of Luis Aragonès. Watching the video, Antoine Griezmann, visibly very moved, said: “ I’m going to cry “.

The ultimate gift in this box is a ring with a design reminiscent of the one that NBA champions receive when they win their title, always with the famous number 7 engraved. A gift giving which will also remain engraved in the memory of the 2018 world champion, more than ever in the history of Atlético de Madrid.
