Antoine Griezmann will go down as one of the most lethal scorers to ever pull on an Atletico Madrid shirt, and now, at least in the Champions League, the numbers reflect that.
The French striker fired home his 13th Champions League goal for the Rojiblancos in Tuesday's Round of 16 first-leg clash with Bayer Leverkusen, and the tally saw him surpass Luis Aragones on the club's European competition scoring list.

Assuming he remains with the Spanish side next season, Griezmann will have plenty of opportunities to extend his lead.
