How many games can Antoine Griezmann fall?

Night of emotions in the form of a roller coaster for Antoine Griezmann. The French international scored his first two goals in the Wanda Metropolitano since he returned to Atlético de Madrid, two goals that raised the stadium against him Liverpool. Everything indicated that it was going to be his night, but he ended up being sent off with a direct red card for an unfortunate action in which he did not see a rival arrive and hit him with his foot on the head.

The German referee Daniel Siebert sent him early to the locker room. It was a strange night for him, because he achieved a milestone that no one had achieved in the history of the Champions League, score two goals before being sent off.

Antoine Griezmann had already scored his first goal for rojiblanco in this second stage, also in the Champions League, on San siro, before him AC Milan. For him there are already three goals right now,

Unfortunately, expulsion can have consequences for you. To get started, Griezmann is already automatically suspended for the next game of Champions League of the Atlético de Madrid against him Liverpool scheduled for November 3.
