With pleasant surprises in the performance of some players like Ansu Fati or Philippe Coutinho, the team has recovered defensive reliability and offensive joy.
Nevertheless, there is a piece that follows without fitting: the one of Antoine Griezmann.

This is a progression in his career Somebody can deny it? I understand it perfectly. But of course, the adaptation is not easy, especially when you play at the side of an enormous player like Messi and play a bit in the same position that he", commented, although it did not take into account that it neither has surrendered when it has played more near of the area.
It thinks that Griezmann is the future of the FC Barcelona
Oliver Giroud advised to Antoine Griezmann have patience, in addition to considering to his compatriot the successor of Leo Messi. "It can carry more time of the usual, but am safe that it will attain it. I do not concern me by him, there is a lot of talent in this team. Only it is necessary to find the magic formula. It is a big challenge but he is able to face it. Also it is the future of this club because Messi will not be eternal", sentenced.
