Antoine Griezmann may not have been quite himself during the first half of the season, but he's ready to make ammends with his supporters in 2017.
One way to do so is leading Atlético into the UEFA Champions League quarter finals, which he managed to do with one goal against Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their tie. Not only did Griezmann give Atlético a two-goal lead, but he also managed to enter the competition's and Atletico's record books with that left-footed shot.
