Antoine Griezmann apologises to Atletico fans before Orlando move

Antoine Griezmann made his final appearance for Atletico Madrid on Sunday at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. The 35‑year‑old apologised to the club’s supporters and confirmed his departure to MLS side Orlando City in the summer.

The match was against Girona and marked the end of Griezmann’s current spell with the Spanish side. The game took place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium.

Griezmann remains Atletico Madrid’s all‑time top goalscorer, a record he built over his ten‑year tenure with the club. His goal‑scoring legacy was highlighted by fans during his farewell.

His career at Atletico Madrid spanned two separate periods, adding up to a decade of service. The player’s contributions have been integral to the club’s recent campaigns.

Griezmann reflected on his earlier move to Barcelona, describing it as a mistake. He expressed regret over that decision while addressing the crowd.

Looking ahead, Griezmann will join Orlando City in Major League Soccer, where he is expected to bring experience to the American side. The transfer concludes his time in European football for now.
