Diego Simeone greeted Antoine Griezmann as well as Atletico Madrid sealed an incredible 4-3 The League win Seville.
Los Rojiblancos were 3-1 down heading into the final 30 minutes in Madrid as Griezmann produced an inspired late display.
The veteran striker scored twice, including a 94th-minute winner, which sparked wild scenes, as he took his tally to seven league goals so far in 2024/25.
Simeone indicated a tactical tweak in the second half after leading Alexander Sorloth to strengthen the forward line.
Griezmann dropped into midfield late on, and his late runs in 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. That's how the fourth goal came,” as quotes from AS Diary.
“We love him a lot, he is a boy who always gives everything for Atlético.”
Simeone is expected to continue his policy of rotating Griezmann for some games before a busy end of 2024 for Atletico Madrid.
A UEFA Champions League home clash with Slovan Bratislava could be used as a break before vital league clashes with Getafe and the leaders of the league Barcelona to hit December.
