Congratulations to the photographer from the SIPA agency, author of the photo illustrating this article, because you didn't have to hang around on the trigger to take a photo of Antoine Griezmann facing Atletico on Tuesday evening. Supreme humiliation, the star of the last recruitment of Barça came into play in the 91st minute as a vulgar No. 33, and in addition against his last team. Barely veiled message from his trainer, Quique Setien, about his confidence in the world champion.
In the post-match press conference (2-2), the coach ranked behind tactical choices. "He is an important player, it is true that it is hard to bring him in this way, for a player of his level," explains Setien. But circumstances forced me to do this. I could have made another decision, not to let him in for example, but you still have the hope that a player like him can do a specific action that will allow you to win the match. Tomorrow I will speak with him. I'm not going to apologize to him, because it's a decision I have to take, but I'm sure it's a decision that he will understand, because he's a great player, a great professional and a great man. "
For his part, Griezmann's former mentor at Atletico, Diego Simeone, simply confessed to having "no words" to explain the current situation of Grizou at Barça.
