The exit of Antoine Griezmann of the FC Barcelona went definitely the big 'bombazo' of the last day of the market of signings. For surprise of all the barcelonismo, Joan Laporta decided to dispense of the French and him 'gave' to an Athletic of Madrid that has received him with the open arms. The French will play yielded in Wanda Metropolitan this season and another more optional. Besides, the colchoneros will have to buy him obligatoriamente when it finish his cession.
Therefore, the Frenchman has sacked already of the Barça and will return to the Atleti, that was where turned into a star and where better has played in his career. Economically it is a good operation for the group barcelonista, that will leave to pay the more than 20 million euros of wage of the of Macon, and that besides ingresará a quantity that could rondar the 40 'kilos' when the rojiblancos exert his option of compulsory purchase.
Nevertheless, in spite of the goodnesses that has financially this loan, deportivamente in the short term is a disastrous operation for the Catalans to all the levels. Without Leo Messi, Griezmann had to occupy the role of star and had to be the offensive leader of the culés. His numbers, his status and his quality left clear that could do it, but the club has prioritised the economic appearance and has left to the Barcelona without which was surely his best attacker.
The course of Messi went tremendously painful to emotional level, but especially sportive, since without the '10' went between 35 and 45 goals by campaign. Specifically, the course happened the Argentinian annotated 38 in total and 30 in League, where was the Pichichi. Luckily, in spite of the drama, still remained 'The Principito', that went the maximum second goleador of the Barcelona the past season with 20 so many between all the competitions.
Messi and Griezmann marked the half of goals of the Barça
Between Leo and Antoine marked 58 targets in total of the 122 that put the Barça between all the tournaments. This is 47,54% of the total goals of the barcelonistas, that is almost the half. Of his 20 so many, the now player of the Athletic put 13 in League, 2 in Champions League, 3 in Glass of Rey and 2 in the Supercopa of Spain, being the only footballer of LaLiga in marking in all the competitions.
With the exit of both, therefore, the Barcelona loses the half of his offensive power with the data in the hand. Ousmane Dembélé, Martin Braithwaite and Ansu Fati annotated 23 the past course and will have to take a step forward to compensate the course of his ex mates. Besides, the Kun Agüero, Luuk of Jong and especially Memphis Depay will have to be keys in this section so that the Barcelona do not throw too much in fault the almost 60 so many of Messi and Griezmann.
