Antoine Griezmann did not come to the MLS to suffer like this.
The 35-year-old Frenchman, with 17 years of a career in Spain, had barely spent half an hour on the field at Inter&Co Stadium when Apple TV cameras caught him breathing heavily with a wet towel over his head. Orlando was at 35°C with 80% humidity, and the former world champion looked like he was running inside an oven.
But his body endured what his pride demanded: in the 28th minute, Griezmann scored the only goal of the match and gave Orlando City a 1-0 victory over San Diego FC. He finished the entire match without coming off, his uniform soaked, with the MLS learning that not even the Florida heat can stop him 🥵⚽
