Atletico Madrid have excellent fortune when strike partnerships are in question. Angel Correa can potentially be the latest addition to Atletico’s legacy of incredible forwards, and has often started ahead of Kevin Gameiro, Luciano Vietto and fan favourite Fernando Torres this season.

While Griezmann may be the undisputed star striker of Los Colchoneros, his possible departure at the end of the season means that Correa will have the opportunity to be the main man at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The fact that Atletico have been unable to score at will this season further underlines the importance of Correa's goals to the side. With 4 goals, Correa has outscored the talismanic Antoine Griezmann as well as the in-form Yannick Carrasco so far this season, and has often served as the ideal foil for his more illustrious teammates.

Correa's path into his national team, however, is unfortunately blocked by a long list of incredible forwards. The likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and Paulo Dybala are currently rendering it nearly impossible for Angel Correa to represent the national side.

But with the country's leading men crossing the age of 30, the talented youngster is sure to get his chance in the near future.
