The French are enjoying La Liga right now. After Karim Benzema's decisive pass in the heel over the past weekend, Antoine Griezmann stood out on Sunday during Barça's big victory against Villarreal (4-1). Criticized in recent weeks, put on the bench by his coach, the world champion recalled that he was capable of strokes of genius. On a heel of Messi, Grizou sent a small dive all in smoothness since the entry of the surface, which finished under the bar of Asenjo.

A goal that will certainly do a lot of good for the French, especially since it came from a good connection with Lionel Messi. This has rarely been the case this season, and the Spanish press has never failed to recall it. The hug between the two players after this action did not go unnoticed.

Quique Setien, who had established Griezmann this time, appreciated his agreement with the Argentinian and Luis Suarez. "They coordinated in an extraordinary way," he said. They made a very good match, they have a lot of qualities. We finished this match satisfied and they too, I am sure, because we had a great match and everyone enjoyed it. "As for the goal itself, the Spanish coach considered that it was" only within the reach of great players ".

It probably won't be enough to keep Real Madrid from winning the title this season, but that's still the end of the story. Griezmann intends to stay at Barça and prove that he can succeed.
