”Griezmann was a signing that shouldn’t have been made.” Font told Daily Mail
”If Xavi asked me to sign Sergio Ramos and it was economically viable, I would sign him.” Antoine Griezmann spent five years at Atletico Madrid where he scored 94 goals in 180 games before he departed the side.
Antoine Griezmann has played 42 games so far scoring 11 goals for the Catalans. He has also played 86 games for the French national team and has scored 33 goals since 2014.
