Antoine Griezmann has admitted that he felt unhappy at Barcelona when he found himself on the bench at various points during the 2020/21 season.
The French footballer admitted that he felt ‘freer’ in France like he did with Atletico Madrid than with his current team in Spain.
The 30-year-old made a total of 51 appearances for the Blaugrana last season, scoring 20 goals and providing 12 assists. “Yes I was unhappy at Barcelona. When you lose the title, for example, it makes me sad,” Griezmann said.
On his much-talked about relationship with star footballer and teammate Lionel Messi, Greizmann said, “We understand each other well.
Sometimes we write messages to each other, we talk a lot in training,” he revealed. “On the pitch, he’s obviously a very easy player to play with. In terms of the play, things are getting better and better.
Griezmann reacted to Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema’s return to the France squad under Didier Deschamps and said, “I was surprised, of course, but also happy.
It’s Karim, a great striker, who can only do us good. Frankly, we can only be delighted to have him with us.
“We must do everything now so that he feels as good as possible as quickly as possible, that he takes this confidence with him. He’s a guy we can play with easily and obviously he’s welcome with us.”
