Antoine Griezmann has been named LALIGA EA SPORTS Player of the Month for November, an award presented by LALIGA in association with EA, beating Artem Dovbyk in the voting.

In November, he played a key role in his team's comeback against Villarreal with a goal and an assist, and later became the main character in Atletico's 1-0 win over Mallorca with a spectacular header.
These last two victories have lifted Atletico Madrid to third place in the LALIGA EA SPORTS standings, four points behind Girona and Real Madrid, although the Red and Whites have a game in hand.
Griezmann won the LALIGA EA SPORTS Player of the Month award for the first time this season, which he has already received several times in previous seasons, and replaced Jude Bellingham, who won it last month.
In the final vote, the Frenchman beat Borja Majoral (Getafe), Ante Budimir (Osasuna), and Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk (Girona) and Ayoze Perez (Real Betis).
