Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé will compete this Tuesday, March 4, in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Duel of legends this Tuesday, March 4 in the Champions League between Real Madrid of Kylian Mbappé and Atlético Madrid by Antoine Griezmann. In this shock at the top, looks will be shot on the two French stars, essential since the start of the season.
To put it simply, since the announcement of his international retirement at the end of 2024, Antoine Griezmann has not missed a single match with the Colchoneros of Diego Simeone. “He knew that it was going to favor him in a kind of appeasement, calm, and that increases his energy, his well-being and his state of life” explained Omar Da Fonseca, beIN Sports consultant in remarks relayed by Ouest France. But in front of him, there is the renewal of Kylian Mbappé, radiating since the beginning of 2025 in Liga and in the Champions League with a last hat -trick against Manchester City during the play -offs on February 11. “He was on the take -off track, he was late at the start, he rolled a lot on this track, then he took off” launched, very metaphorically the Argentinian consultant.
Whatever the analysis we can do on the two players, “they are among the best in the world. With different profiles, it’s obvious, but extraordinary qualities” launched Carlo Ancelotti at a press conference before Real – Atlético. But for Omar Da Fonseca, Antoine Griezmann still has an advantage linked to experience. “The difference compared to Kylian Mbappé is that he is already installed, he has already confirmed or consolidated his status. What is rather admirable at Griezmann, despite his age, his business card, he remains an ambitious player and who is also an icon.” An observation that his coach also makes almost always, Diego Simeone. “He is a very important player in our team and whenever he can help us, he gives an additional momentum to the team. I hope he will continue to do it. We need him.”
