In a touching gesture, the French World Cup winner was called into a meeting room for a gift from his teammate, Memphis. He presented his friend with an expensive gold ring, bearing a number 7. The ring resembled an NBA-style ring, which Griezmann is a fan of. The ring came in a beautiful box full of details, which even had a video showing and reliving the history of the club. The ring is rumored to be valued between $50,000 to $150,000.

Griezmann, who is an avid NBA fan, warmly thanked Depay with happiness and visible emotion, nearly teary-eyed. Eventually, they embraced and the video quickly gained widespread attention online.

Antoine Griezmann’s stats for Atletico Madrid over the years

Since joining Atletico Madrid in 2014 for a fee of €30 million from Real Sociedad, Antoine Griezmann has risen through the ranks. He recently overtook Luis Aragones to become the club’s all-time top scorer, cementing his legacy at the Metropolitan Stadium. Let us take a look at his statistics.

In his first stint for Atletico Madrid from 2014 to 2019, Antoine Griezmann scored 133 goals in 257 appearances. During this time, he also won the 2018 FIFA World Cup with France and came third in the Ballon d’Or list for the best player in the world. Following his heroic performances for both club and country, the Frenchman moved to Barcelona for a massive fee of €120 million.

His performances at Barca failed to live up to his price tag, with the player returning to his original team in 2021. Since then, Griezmann has scored 42 goals in 119 matches, and become the club’s best player in the process.
