Antoine Griezmann has adopted the Fortnite game’s ‘Take the L’ dance as his own scoring celebration and it is not just him that is getting in on the act. His friend and NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns were pictured on the Atletico Madrid official club Instagram account doing the famous dance.

Griezmann has received mixed reactions to his choice of goal celebration, with people saying that it was disrespectful to do it when he first did it at the World Cup in Russia. Gamers love the celebration and have even voted for FIFA to add it to the goal celebrations in FIFA 19.
Griezmann will be hoping that he will be able to do his trademark celebration later when he takes on Valencia in LaLiga. Their first match of the season in LaLiga sees them play away at Valencia to get their campaign underway.
Team news
Griezmann’s compatriot Thomas Lemar is in line to make his debut for the club, with the World Cup winner linking up at Atletico to add to the attacking powers of Griezmann and Costa. However, given the French pairs’ involvement in the World Cup, they may not completely be match fit yet. After beating Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup, they will be full of confidence and be looking to build on that result this season.
Michy Batshuayi and Russian star Denis Cheryshev will be hoping to start for Valencia to make their debuts.
