Griezmann, named LaLiga Player of the Month for December
The French striker scored four goals and set up another in the four games he played last month, helping Atlético to take 10 points from a possible 12.
Antoine Griezmann has been named Player of the Month for December in LaLiga Santander. The Atlético Madrid forward enjoyed a productive end to 2018, scoring four goals and setting up another for one of his team mates in the four games he starred in last month.
Great contribution
Griezmann played a key role in helping Atleti take 10 points from a possible 12 in LaLiga in December, only failing to find the net in the team's 1-1 draw at Girona on 2 December. After that game, he was on target in the 3-0 home win against Alavés then grabbed a brace and an assist in the 2-3 win away at Valladolid. He brought the year to a close by hitting the winner against Espanyol, beating Diego López from the penalty spot.
Griezmann has started 2019 in the same spell-binding form he ended 2018, he cancelled out Ben Yedder's opener in the opening game of the New Year against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán last weekend. That equaliser gained a point for Atleti on a weekend when their city rivals Real Madrid lost. The No.7 will receive the award just before kick-off ahead of Sunday's midday meeting with Levante at the Wanda Metropolitano.
