Antoine Griezmann breaks Atletico Madrid goalscoring record

Antoine Griezmann became Atletico Madrid's all-time leading goalscorer on Wednesday, scoring with a brilliant finish for his team's second goal against Real Madrid to overtake club legend Luis Aragones.

Atletico and Real were playing in the semifinals of the Spanish Supercopa at Saudi Arabia's Al Awal Park at King Saud University in Riyadh and Griezmann netted his 174th goal for Los Rojiblancos to draw his side level with their derby rivals before the break.

The France international had drawn level with Aragones -- who spent a decade at Atletico as a player between 1964 and 1974 and set a record which stood for almost 50 years -- by scoring twice in Atletico's 3-3 draw with Getafe in December, matching his 173 goals for the club.
