Watch: Antoine Griezmann gifts match ball to a young fan

Valencia faced Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano in a crucial match on Sunday. Both teams are known for their strong performances and were eager to secure a victory. Valencia, who were at the bottom of the La Liga standings, have faced challenges this season. They drew 1-1 against Villarreal in their last match and will need to step up their game in this fixture.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid, currently in fourth place in the league table, has demonstrated impressive form over the past year. The team narrowly defeated Athletic Bilbao with a 1-0 scoreline in their previous game and hoped to achieve a similar outcome this weekend.

Griezmann gifted a match ball to young fan

During the match, Antoine Griezmann was spotted imitating Alvaraz's Spiderman celebration, adding a playful and lighthearted touch to the game. 

A particularly heartwarming moment occurred in the latter stages of the first half when the talented French player generously gifted one of the match balls to a lucky young fan in the crowd, creating a memorable and special interaction between the players and the supporters.

With another win under its belt, Atletico Madrid now stands in the second position in the League table, 4 behind table-toppers Barcelona. Valencia is still at the bottom of the table and needs a serious resurgence very soon.
