Antoine Griezmann: A tale of three derbies
Antoine Griezmann has three Madrid derby goals to his name this season. Will he get another on Sunday?
Thirty-one games played across all competitions. Twenty-six victories, three draws, two defeats.
Real Madrid have a fight on their hands at the top of LaLiga, with surprise title rivals Girona surely the story of the season, but Los Blancos have largely been excellent in 2023-24.
Carlo Ancelotti has made light work of serious injuries to Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba and Eder Militao to keep things ticking over nicely at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Madrid will certainly back themselves to add to last month's Supercopa de Espana success before the end of the campaign.
One thing, however, must surely rankle with supporters of Los Blancos. Both of their defeats this campaign have come against cross-city rivals Atletico Madrid.
Antoine Griezmann provided the X-factor for Atleti in both of those games, while he also left his mark on the only derby his side have lost in 2023-24, becoming Los Colchoneros' all-time leading goalscorer in a 5-3 defeat to Madrid in the Supercopa in Saudi Arabia.
Ahead of the fourth Madrid derby of the season on Sunday, More Than A Game looks back at Griezmann's performances in the previous three, detailing how each showed a different side to one of world football's most complete players.
