As is known, the player often gets his performance criticized lately. Reasonably since being imported from Atletico Madrid last season he has not been able to display a consistent game.

Especially when it comes to scoring goals and arguably is very different when he played for Atletico. Where Antoine Griezmann could score more than 20 goals. Whereas in his first season with the Spanish League giant, his goal taps were completely stagnant.

This also immediately made him as the center of attention. The reason because Griezmann was brought Barcelona with a too fantastic price. Meanwhile, after being suspended for three months because of the pandemic. The player has returned to play in the last two games.

Unfortunately, when given the opportunity to appear each against Real Mallorca which ended in a 4-0 win (6/14) and won over Leganes 2-0 on Wednesday (6/17). Antoine Griezmann hasn’t scored a goal yet. Where the French footballer still looks difficult to show sharpness.

He added, if he knew the match would be difficult. Unless the team has the luck to do it right in the beginning. For him Barcelona have started very well, but then his team lost the ball a few minutes and gave them a chance. That was before the match in January.

Where they could have scored, then his team had mastered the last 20 minutes. For him, Leganes played well and defended well. So it is not easy to find space.

Antoine Griezmann has played 28 matches in the Spanish league this season, scored 8 goals, gave 4 assists and received 2 yellow cards.
