Orlando City14 crosses in Saturday's draw
Griezmann generated three shots (one on goal), 14 crosses (two accurate) and 10 corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Griezmann was very active in Saturday's draw, recording 14 crosses and 10 corners on the attack. He didn't produce much despite that immense volume as he only recorded two accurate crosses and did not create a chance. It's been a decent start to his Orlando career, but the star Frenchman hasn't quite settled into the league just yet.
Scores first Leagues Cup goal
Griezmann scored his first Leagues Cup goal in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Monterrey, according to Marca Mexico.
Analysis: Griezmann finished first time in the 28th minute off an excellent cross from Tyrese Spicer to open the scoring, later returning the favor by handing off a second half penalty for Spicer to convert rather than taking it himself. He was named man of the match as Orlando weathered heavy pressure and three disallowed Monterrey goals to open its Leagues Cup campaign with a win, and his growing chemistry with his teammates looks like a promising sign as the tournament continues.
Provides first MLS assist
Griezmann had an assist while taking four off target shots, crossing three times (two accurate), creating two chances and making two interceptions during Saturday's 3-2 loss to New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Griezmann set up Griffin Dorsey in the 63rd minute while leading Orlando in crosses and interceptions during the win. The assist was the first in MLS for Griezmann as he has two goal involvements through his opening three starts in the league.
Three shots in win over Nashville
Griezmann took three shots (off target), sent in five crosses (two accurate), took two corners, and created two chances in Saturday's 1-0 win over Nashville SC.
Analysis: Griezmann was active in the attack all night despite failing to make his mark on the scoresheet for the second consecutive match. Orlando have won back-to-back games since he entered the lineup, and they'll look to keep it rolling in Saturday's road tilt with the New York Red Bulls.
Scores in debut
Griezmann scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and five chances created in Wednesday's 4-0 victory versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Griezmann made his debut for Orlando and scored just after halftime to give them the 3-0 lead on the road. The forward also led his side in chances created during the match. He took the second-most shots as well in a good offensive effort.
Scores on MLS debut for Orlando
Griezmann scored his first MLS goal in his debut with Orlando City in Wednesday's 4-0 win over San Jose, finishing with two shots (one on target) and two key chances created.
Analysis: Griezmann received the ball from Justin Ellis after a San Jose defensive mistake before finishing with a cross shot into the bottom right corner, immediately showing good combinations with Eduard Atuesta and Justin Ellis and stepping up the level of the team's attack. His debut performance follows a strong preseason in which he scored in each of his first two friendly appearances, and this early production is an encouraging sign that he can transition smoothly into MLS play as Orlando builds around him going forward.
Scores in first two games
Griezmann scored in each of his first two friendly appearances for Orlando City, most recently in Wednesday's 2-1 win over FC Dallas, following an earlier goal against Tampa Bay Rowdies.
Analysis: Griezmann is set to make his MLS debut on July 22 against San Jose, and his hot start in friendlies is an early positive sign after he closed out his Atletico Madrid career with seven goals and four assists across 34 appearances last season. His immediate scoring form suggests a smooth transition to his new club, and Orlando will be hoping he carries that momentum into his competitive debut.
Ends Atletico career with assist
Griezmann recorded one assist on two chances created in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Villarreal.
Analysis: Griezmann put a nice bow on the end of his Atletico career, as the attacker would earn an assist on their lone goal of the game in the 43rd minute. He then ends the campaign with an assist in consecutive games, also earning one in his final home match. The French forward now sets off for the World Cup before finding a new club, notching seven goals and four assists in 34 appearances (13 starts) this campaign.
Stars in final home appearance
Griezmann had an assist while taking four shots (two on goal), crossing six times (one accurate) and creating three chances during Sunday's 1-0 win over Girona.
Analysis: Griezmann set up Ademola Lookman in the 21st minute assisting the lone goal of the match while leading Atleti in shots and crosses during his final home appearance with the club. The assist was the first since May 2nd for the attacker as he's combined for seven shots, five chances created and 14 crosses over his last three starts.
Solid in Saturday's loss
Griezmann recorded three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Celta Vigo.
Analysis: Griezmann had a solid day on the attack Saturday, recording three shots and four crosses in the loss. After being knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday, Griezmann only has three matches left in his career with Atletico and there isn't a whole lot for the team to play for. The Atleti legend should get a nice sendoff, especially in the final home match on Sunday versus Girona.
Supplies assist in win
Griezmann assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Valencia.
Analysis: Griezmann's deft touch in bringing down the ball late in the second half allowed the veteran to assist the second Atletico Madrid goal in their 2-0 win at Valencia. The dynamic playmaker created two chances from two crosses (one accurate) and two corners) across just 17 minutes of play. Across his last five appearances (three starts) Griezmann has scored once from eight shots (two on goal).
Four shots in tie
Griezmann generated four shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Arsenal.
Analysis: Griezmann was Atletico Madrid's most dangerous weapon in the second half of Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League semifinal first-leg draw, rattling the crossbar in the 64th minute with a curling strike from the edge of the box that nearly put the Colchoneros in front. He drove multiple threatening sequences in Atletico's buildup and served as the centerpiece of Diego Simeone's second-half push that erased the halftime deficit, ending the night with four shots and two chances created over the full 90 minutes. Griezmann now sits on two goals and three assists in 14 Champions League appearances this season (nine starts) and will be chasing more in the return leg as he eyes one last run to a final before his expected summer move to Orlando in the MLS.
Scores goal in win
Griezmann scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 win over Athletic.
Analysis: Griezmann notched the equalizer from inside the box after receiving a deflected pass in the 49th minute against Athletic. It was his first goal since March 10 following a series of 11 unsuccessful attempts over his previous eight outings in all competitions. Considering the full season, the experienced attacker has produced nine goals and four assists over 42 appearances (17 starts) between domestic and European action. While there might be some rotation in the final rounds, he should be a strong threat as he nears the end of his time in Atletico before leaving for MLS club Orlando City in July.
