Atlético de Madrid finished the first round of LALIGA EA Sports with a 4-3 defeat in Montilivi against Girona. The decline in defense has coincided with a great wasted moment for Álvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmannwho have equaled a record that had not been seen in the colchoneros in the last 66 years.
The man from Madrid and the Frenchman are the first pair of red-and-white players in all this time that ends a first round with at least 11 goals. Morata has finished with 12 points this first round of the competition after his hat-trick in Girona while Griezmann already had 11 goals to his credit.
The last to achieve this had been Adrián Escudero and Francisco Molina, in the 55/56 season. The two players finished the first half of that year with the same records, 12 and 11 respectivelyalthough in that case each round consisted of only 15 games.

That year, Escudero would finish third on the list of top scorers with 21 goals, three behind Madrid’s Di Stéfano and two behind Celta’s Mauro. In this campaign, Only Jude Bellingham, with 13, surpasses both players of Atlético de Madrid, with Borja Mayoral’s 12 also involved.
Morata and Griezmann also reign in Europe
In the major European leagues, there is not a single pairing of strikers that equals the double figures of Álvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann. Serhou Girassy and Deniz Undav, from Stuttgart, are the only ones who have come close to this feat with 17 and 9 goals, respectively.
To the great year in LALIGA EA Sports of the two red and whites we must add their goals in the Champions League, where both lead the table of top scorers with five tied with Erling Haaland and Rasmus Hojlund. In total, Morata and Griezmann add 33 goals of Atlético de Madrid’s 56 goals across all competitions, making their importance in Simeone’s schemes clear.
