Antoine Griezmann - Signs contract through 2026 Griezmann signed a contract extension through 2026, it was announced Monday.
Impact It had been announced that Griezmann permanently transferred to Atletico over the weekend after his club and Barcelona came to an agreement about a rather dubious loan situation. While his form in the last three seasons doesn't warrant his high wages, Griezmann now has one assist from 10 chances created and 10 shots taken over the last four matches (three starts). Should the Frenchman continue to play like this, he could outlast Joao Felix as a starter in the attack.

Angel Correa - Scores brace Correa scored two goals to go with four shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Girona.

Regardless, Correa will be an important bench player for Atletico Madrid with already three goals, one assist, nine chances created and 11 crosses (three accurate) in 11 appearances thus far.

Impact Lemar has missed each of the last three matches, including Saturday's win over Sevilla, before making the team for Tuesday's trip to Belgium. With starts in three of his five appearances, Lemar is capable of logging good minutes but a lineup with Koke, Marcos Llorente and Axel Witsel in midfield is probably the best one at Atleti's disposal when everyone is fit.

With Stefan Savic and Jose Maria Gimenez back, Hermoso is likely to start less but should still get a few looks during a busy schedule before the World Cup.
