Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has revealed he is looking to enjoy his best ever season in front of goal as he looks to close the gap between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Griezmann, 24, netted 22 times in La Liga last season in a stunning debut campaign for Atletico following his £24m move from Real Sociedad 12 months ago.
The France international is already underway in the league (1) this time around and has set 25 goals as his benchmark this year in La Liga.
“I do not know the numbers of goals that I will score, but I want to score more than 25 goals this season and beat last season’s total. I’m working to reach Messi and Ronaldo," Griezmann told AS.
The French forward still has some way to go in order to surpass the feats of Messi and Ronaldo, who scored 43 and 48 league goals respectively last season.

Can't see Hazard scoring more than Griezmann, but if that happens I'll have a good laugh about it
Disappointed he didn't come to the Premier League this summmer. United would have been incredible
Thumbs up if you think Griezmann > Pogba.
Great forward but, nothing compared Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo logical!
