Griezmann, Aguero and the weapon of choice for Europe’s Finishers

They’re the moments that decide games, that win or lose championships.
They define history, and write legacies. The match may not always be remembered, but the goalscorers are. They get the glory. They are the heroes.

And few have been heroic as Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann in recent seasons.

Last campaign the France international Griezmann hit a stunning 22 goals in 38 Liga appearances, while also firing his side to a UEFA Champions League final.

Aguero, meanwhile, hit an incredible 24 goals in just 30 Premier League matches, despite his team stumbling to a fourth-placed finish.

It takes a special type of player to keep their cool while all around them others are losing theirs, and Aguero and Griezmann have made a career out of doing exactly that.


Whether it’s the final minute of the final game of the season and the league title is on the line, or whether it’s a single strike standing between Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich and a Champions League final, the devastating duo have developed a reputation for getting the job done.

Both fire more than half their shots on target, with each bullet hitting its target in more than 25 per of shots fired.

They’ve been doing so in the PUMA evoSPEED, which are also worn by Aguero’s new team-mate Nolito, who used them to fire 12 goals in 29 matches for Celta Vigo last term.

So should the budding Finishers of the world also slip on their weapon of choice? INTERSPORT are here to help answer that question with their Boot Finder.


There’s a lot to consider when shopping for a new pair of football boots, particularly with the continuous advances in technology that have seen the leading sportswear brands pushing the envelope further with every release.

So INTERSPORT is helping perspective future stars of the game select the right footwear for their specific needs with its new Football Boot Finder, which will ask you a few questions about your style of play and then recommend the boots that they think are the best match based on your answers.

And for the Finishers, INTERSPORT is finding that the evoSPEED could be the boot of choice. It scored a 9/10 in the goalscoring category and 9.2 for the all-important 1 vs 1’s that seal the outcome of the most important matches.

PUMA's other headline boot, the evoPOWER, offers an interesting alternative and is aimed more towards the Target Man.

Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud and Spain international Aritz Aduriz grabbed 36 goals between them in the evoPOWER last season, helping the boot hit the top ten of all major categories in the Boot index among the forwards.

35-year-old Aduriz utilised the boot to extend his Indian summer into UEFA Euro 2016 after a season that saw him grab more than a goal every other game, with a conversion rate to match Aguero.

So big or small, stronger or the air or quicker on the deck, PUMA appear to have everything the great Finishers and Target Men of this world need from a boot.
