Griezmann is at home at Atletico, his newfound freedom has him looking like LaLiga's player of the season

Turquoise boots, pink and peroxide hair, fluorescent orange strip, white-hot form. That was Antoine Griezmann last weekend, again, as his Atletico Madrid stuck five past Real Valladolid and maintained the pressure on Real Madrid as to whether they, or Los Rojiblancos, will finish second in LaLiga.

The France international has a rival for the title of the league's most exciting player, but that's only because Vinicius Junior is a truly extraordinary talent. There are many extras that argue (convincingly, I think) that Griezman has been, pound for pound, the most thrilling, most enjoyable, must-watch footballer in LaLiga this season.
