Diego Simeone praised Antoine Griezmann as Atletico Madrid sealed an incredible 4-3 La Liga victory over Sevilla.
The Rojiblancos were trailing 3-1 in the final 30 minutes in Madrid when Griezmann staged an inspired comeback.
The veteran striker scored two goals, including a 94th-minute winner, which sparked wild scenes as he took his tally to seven league goals so far in 2024/25.
Simeone signaled a tactical change in the second half after bringing in Alexander Sorloth to reinforce the lead.
Griezmann dropped deep into midfield late on, and his delayed runs behind the Sevilla defense caused chaos as the 33-year-old showed his enduring class.
“There are differential players and he is one of them. In the second half he grew, when we put him inside he felt better. “This is how the fourth goal came,” Diario AS quotes.
“We love him very much, he is a boy who always gives everything for Atlético.”
Simeone is expected to continue his policy of rotating Griezmann for certain matches ahead of a busy end to 2024 for Atlético Madrid.
A UEFA Champions League home clash against Slovan Bratisalva could be used as a break before vital league clashes with Getafe and league leaders Barcelona at the end of December.
