Post-epidemic health measures will profoundly alter the landscape of La Liga from Thursday, and the French striker prepared for it: "It was a bit odd (to train at Camp Nou) without an audience but we wanted to get used to the atmosphere. It was cool to be able to play again at Camp Nou. ”

“I watched the Bundesliga a bit. Goal celebrations without touching are a little weird but it feels good to see soccer on TV again, "said Griezmann. “We have the cards in hand. We have to make eleven good matches to be crowned champions. We are ready, ”he said. Barça, ironed Liga leader two points against Real Madrid since their 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad on March 7 during the 27th day, the last before the suspension of football in Spain.
