With FC Barcelona for two seasons, Antoine Griezmann did not leave lasting memories at Barça, but was keen to defend his record at the Blaugrana.
From July 2019 to August 2021, Antoine Griezmann was a player of FC Barcelona . And although he won the King’s Cup last season, the French world champion will not leave an indelible mark in the history of FC Barcelona and in the hearts of Blaugrana supporters. Partly because he snubbed Barca in the summer of 2018 by extending his contract at Atletico de Madrid . Having worked with him in the national team during this period, Didier Deschamps stressed the fact that he did not fully exude joy during the rallies. But for Griezmann, everything is certainly not to be thrown away from his time at FC Barcelona .
“It wasn't catastrophic either”
“Barça? It wasn't a disaster either, because I've always scored almost 20 goals every season. For me, it’s great pride to have played for Barcelona. I was very happy to go, amazing teammates. And I learned a lot from the coaches even though sometimes I didn't play and it was complicated at times. I think that there (editor's note at Atletico), they love me for who I am and for what I am, so it's perfect for everyone “. said Antoine Griezmann during an interview with Téléfoot.
