Griezmann has played these 500 games for three clubs and in two divisions. With Real Sociedad, he appeared in 180 matches, 39 of them in ‘LALIGA HYPERMOTION' in the 2009/10 season, when he was one of the most outstanding players as Martín Lasarte's side won promotion, starring alongside Xabi Prieto and Claudio Bravo. After four successful seasons with the Basque club’s first team in LALIGA EA SPORTS, during which time he netted 46 goals, the forward then headed to Atlético de Madrid.
Under Diego Simeone, he has made 246 league outings over two spells, with his time at 'FC Barcelona' briefly pausing his career with Los Rojiblancos. At the capital city club, he has managed to score 111 goals in 'LALIGA' and become one of the fan favorites. The forward is even within reach of Luis Aragonés, as he could overtake him as the player with the most goals in the history of Atlético de Madrid.
Griezmann's time at FC Barcelona may not have brought him all the success he had hoped for, but it did allow him to add 74 more 'LALIGA EA SPORTS' appearances that also count towards this great milestone of 500 LALIGA appearances. Under Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setién, and Ronald Koeman, he scored a total of 22 goals before returning to Los Colchoneros.
His tally is all the more impressive when considering that only 36 other players in the history of LALIGA have managed to reach that figure, and the Frenchman is close to being the foreigner with the most appearances, as his 500 games mean he is closing in on the 520 played by Lionel Messi. On the overall podium stand Rubén Castro, with 717 appearances, Nino, with 709, and Robert Fernández, with 674.
