Antoine Griezmann Scores Sublime Free-Kick For Atletico Madrid

Just Antoine Griezmann doing Antoine Griezmann things.

The Frenchman, renown for his deadly set-pieces, lived up to that reputation on Saturday by bagging a superb free-kick for Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

After a goalless first-half, Griezmann opened the scoring in the 69th minute. Fans had to wait for a goal but they were treated to a spectacular one.

He curled in a beautiful free-kick straight into the top corner, leaving the keeper rooted.

A sweet, sweet strike.

Needless to say, social media went into overdrive. Here's some reaction from Twitter:

Unforunately for Griezmann and co., Atleti failed to onto their lead as Leganes leveled in the 82nd minute thanks to Guido Carillo.
