Atlético Madrid legends expand, Griezmann shines in MLS

Overview

The Association of Legends of Atlético Madrid, now about 80 former players, has widened its aid for retirees. It offers financial assistance, a club‑appointed psychologist and runs reminiscence workshops in senior centres, while organising friendly matches such as a recent game against Real Sociedad. Upcoming programmes include anti‑gambling and social‑media risk workshops, communication courses and formal recognitions for historic figures. In June the club unveiled a revamped Paseo de Leyendas at the Metropolitano, voting in 17 icons – Torres, Aragonés, Futre, Simeone and others – with the Social Commission reserving a future plaque for Antoine Griezmann, who left as the all‑time leading scorer.

Griezmann terminated his Atlético contract and signed a 2027‑28 deal with MLS side Orlando City. He made his MLS debut on 22 July 2026, scoring the opener in a 4‑0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes. Following strong performances in the Leagues Cup, Griezmann led Orlando to a 2-1 comeback victory against Real Salt Lake on 21 August 2026, moving the team into 9th in the Eastern Conference.

On 5 September 2026, Orlando secured a 1-0 victory against San Diego FC at Inter&Co Stadium, driven by a 28th-minute goal from Griezmann. This marked his fifth goal in eight MLS matches. On 10 September 2026, Griezmann scored twice to lead Orlando to a 3-2 win over Atlanta United, marking his fourth consecutive game with a goal and extending the club’s unbeaten streak to four matches. On 13 September 2026, Orlando City defeated Toronto FC 3-0, with Griezmann scoring his eighth goal in 10 matches. This performance marked his fifth consecutive game with a goal and extended the club’s unbeaten streak to six matches, placing Orlando firmly in contention for the MLS postseason.
