France and Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has spoken out about the criticism he has received.
"Anyone who criticises me doesn't understand football," Griezmann wrote in one of his social media posts.
The 33-year-old forward first joined Atletico Madrid in 2014 from Real Sociedad and spent five years with the Madrid club. After that, the Frenchman spent two seasons at Barcelona before returning to Atletico in 2021.
Griezmann's response to the criticism reflects his confidence in his abilities and his belief that those who question his performances do not truly understand the game at the highest level. The experienced forward has been a key figure for Atletico Madrid throughout his career, and his unwavering self-belief suggests he is unfazed by the opinions of his detractors.
Despite the criticism, Griezmann has continued to deliver impressive performances on the pitch. In the current season, he has played 38 games, scoring 19 goals and providing 7 assists. These statistics highlight the Frenchman's continued importance in Atletico Madrid's success.
Griezmann's contract extension with the club until 2026 further underlines the faith that the Atletico Madrid management has in him. As the team strives to achieve success in La Liga and the Champions League, Griezmann's leadership and goalscoring prowess will be crucial in helping Atletico achieve their goals.
