To smile again, the Frenchman returned to the sender at Atlético de Madrid. However, the marriage did not work out straight away between the Colchoneros and their former player. It was clearly not all rosy for Antoine Griezmann at FC Barcelona . Arrived in 2019 at the Blaugrana, the French was eagerly awaited, in particular his association with Lionel Messi . However, on the pitch, the result was far from what had been expected. For Griezmann playing for Barca was a nightmare, he struggled to find his place among the rest of the Blaugrana. And even after two years, that still wasn't it. The experience actually ended during the last summer transfer window. If we thought that Antoine Griezmann was going to stay in Barcelona following the departure of Lionel Messi , a departure finally took place on the last day of the transfer market. And after very long negotiations, an agreement was reached with Atlético de Madrid for the loan with option to buy the world champion. After leaving the Colchoneros in 2019, Griezmann has therefore chosen to return there, where everything had succeeded to find a smile and his feelings after the difficulties encountered at Barcelona . Antoine Griezmann was therefore counting on Diego Simeone to become the player he was again before leaving for FC Barcelona . The flame was thus rekindled between the Frenchman and the Colchoneros and today the marriage is working again between the two parties. Having found his marks in the Madrid system, Griezmann is once again decisive for his team. But that it will have been complicated to return to this stage. Indeed, the return to Atlético de Madrid has not been easy for the native of Mâcon. Although Antoine Griezmann knew where he was going, things had changed at the Madrid club. So it took time to adapt. And during an interview with ESPN, the protégé of Simeone returned to his difficulties during his return to Atlético de Madrid , thus confident: “To be honest, it was tough for me at first. I was not used to this pace, it was a new system for me. I had to take that and mix it with my own style of play. It just got better and better and I feel better on the pitch ”. The machine is now on for Antoine Griezmann at Atlético de Madrid …
