Morata had already beaten Griezmann's last records at Atlético. Now the international is in one of the best performs of his life. The player himself recognises it.
In his last 6 matches, Morata has scored 6 goals, one per match. Griezmann has hardly been able to score. Contrasting career paths.
There was a time when Atletico lived on Griezmann's goals, and now it is sustained by the attacking power of the former Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea player. While Griezmann is looking for a place in Barcelona, Morata is spearheading Simeone's Atlético.
"In Atleti I am happy, in football I had stopped enjoying it and now I am happy. The people who work at the club, my team-mates... because I didn't even believe in myself. I've never been able to be in one place for many years. I've been in the best teams but I've never had continuity. When I was at Juventus I knew halfway through the season that they were going to buy me back, and those are things that distract you. I'm going to give my life here. We have to change what we've been doing.
