Antoine Griezmann,
Europa League match winner, Antoine Griezmann, was coy on his
future, after scoring twice as Atletico Madrid beat Marseille 3-0 to
secure the trophy in Lyon, France on Wednesday.
Griezmann, who has been heavily linked with a move to La Liga
champions Barcelona, netted either side of half-time in a dominant
performance by Atleti.
“It is not the moment to talk about my future, I must enjoy
having won a trophy, and celebrate it with the fans. The truth is this
was a dream for me, to win a trophy with Atletico, with [Diego Simeone]
and my friends and teammates.
“Your feeling for a club gets stronger every game, every year.
I’ve been here four years, and I have enjoyed today with the fans, the
people of the club, my relationship with them is strong, which is why I
give everything on the pitch,” he said after the game.
Griezmann, who grew up near Lyon but left early to pursue his
career at Real Sociedad, previously had just the 2014 Spanish Supercopa
to show for four seasons with Atletico.
“When I left home at 14 years of age it was to win trophies, to enjoy nights like this,” Griezmann said on BeIn Sports on the final whistle.
“This is the second, after a Supercopa, and I hope I can win more trophies.”
