Antoine Griezmann never 'connected' with Barça

They are not very good the memories that have of Antoine Griezmann in his go through the FC Barcelona. They were many the expectations that generated by his signing in 2019, because they paid 120 million euros by his traspaso and came like the big star of the Athletic of Madrid. It was one of the best players of the world, in this moment, and in the City Condal remained bad flavour of mouth during his stage in the club. Never it finished to explode and finished leaving by the rear door.

The French arrived to the Barça in the moment in which Luis Suárez and Leo Messi were the big stars. The team turned to his around and touched him assume a much more secondary role, when in Madrid was the big leading. Likewise, there was some distrust with his figure because in the changing room felt 'betrayed' because it had not arrived a year before. "I spoke with Leo when I arrived and said me that when I refused the first option to go fucked him because it had asked it publicly. But it said me that it was with me and like this I notice it each day", said Griezmann in' Universe Valdano' in November of 2020.

It was a moment that marked to the protagonists in the Barça and that, obviously, left consequences because the relation was not ideal in the changing room and affected in the lawn. This, added to the leaks of the uncle of Griezmann and the problems that had to adapt ended in that the player left yielded in the summer of 2021 to the Athletic of Madrid. The culés finished him selling by 20 million euros, 100 less than what had paid by him. It was the only form that it produced his exit.

Griezmann And his more difficult moment in the Barça

The impact of the 'Pincipito' was minimum in the City Condal. In two seasons, played 102 parties and annotated 35 goals and gave 16 assistances. They are not negative registers, all the contrary, but never saw him with the same spark that had impressed of his go through the capital of Spain. From 'The World' have explained that, for the player, play in the Barça was a moment difficult because it did not fit. It is worth it to remember that they were many the times in which it played by the band, without role or without a clear reason to be in the lawn.

They have explained that, during the two years that was in Barcelona, followed of very near the actuality of the Atleti and saw all the parties. At the end, it finished 'winning' with his turn, because since it has recovered his condition of star and his best version on the lawn. It has gone back to be a 'todocampista' and the 'Cholo' Simeone trusts he like leader of the project 'colchonero'... Of the that never had to go out in 2019.
