Atlético de Madrid has secured its place in the Champions League semifinals after overcoming FC Barcelona with a 4-3 aggregate score. This qualification marks the fifth time in the club's history that it has reached this stage in Europe's premier club competition.

Griezmann's departure from the rojiblanco club, after ten seasons split into two periods, was officially announced on March 24 by Atlético de Madrid and Orlando City. Despite his impending exit, the player maintains a notable performance level, remaining a key figure in the team's aspirations this season.

The squad led by Diego Pablo Simeone faces a crucial month and a half, with the chance to lift two trophies. The first could come this Saturday in the Copa del Rey Mapfre final against Real Sociedad. For Atlético, it would be their first Copa since 2013, and for Griezmann, his first as a 'colchonero', playing against the club where he developed.

In the Copa del Rey, Griezmann has played a vital role, especially in the first leg of the semifinals against FC Barcelona, where Atlético secured a 4-0 victory at the Metropolitano. In that match, the Frenchman scored a goal and demonstrated a great ability to adapt to the game's demands. With five goals, he is his team's top scorer in the competition and second overall.

The forward will seek to replicate his leadership in a final, as he did in the Europa League in 2018, when he scored a decisive brace against Olympique de Marseille. The Copa del Rey Mapfre could become his first major domestic title with Atlético, adding to the Supercopa de España won in 2014.

The second major objective will be even more demanding: guiding Atlético de Madrid to their fourth Champions League final. The rojiblancos will face a formidable opponent in the semifinals, a tie that will be played in the coming weeks and will offer Griezmann one last opportunity to write another chapter in his farewell to the club.
