Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid - 5 players who would be perfect for the other team

#4 Antoine Griezmann

Many would argue that Antoine Griezmann is not needed at Real Madrid when they already have so much depth in attack, notably with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio.

However, the problem is that Gareth Bale is almost always injured, whereas Karim Benzema has been receiving a lot of criticism following his huge dip in form. In fact, the Frenchman has only scored 1 goal in 7 league appearances this season.

In addition to that, Real Madrid clearly have a problem in attack, having just scored 22 goals in 11 Liga games so far. An average of two goals per game is certainly considered low, especially when compared with Barcelona's average of 2.95 - which perhaps explains why they are on top of the table with a lead of eight points, over their arch-rivals.

In brief, Madrid need to boost their attack with an experienced player who is already proven on the big stage. Griezmann scored 24 goals and mustered 10 assists for Atlético Madrid last season. Just imagine how valuable an asset he would be for a Real Madrid side that is struggling to score goals.

The 26-year old is a scorer and a creator at the same time, and would certainly be add great quality to the champions of Europe.
