After announcing his signing for Atlético, his return to the rojiblanco team two years later, in the networks of Antoine Griezmann there had only been one farewell to Barcelona. Until this noon. The French already speaks in a red-and-white key. It was on Twitter, when one of the official account of the club answered in which it was announced that he will wear the number that Saúl has released, that ‘8’ that belonged to Luis, by Raúl García.
“Looking forward to coming home“, the Frenchman wrote, signing with two hearts, one red and the other white. Griezmann is currently focused on France in this selection break. It won’t be until next week that I don’t really come home. That is to say, to Madrid, to Cerro del Espino, to the arms of Cholo.
Because that figure, that of Simeone, has been fundamental for his signing. First because the coach loved him. Second, because the player only wanted to return. Now, ahead, many challenges, but the first and most essential: win back the love of a hobby that idolized him but broke his heart with his daydreams every summer, yes but no, and going to Barcelona a year after filming a documentary telling him that he wanted to stay. Two years have passed, now the story is different. Griezmann, outside, has been aware of one thing: like at home, nowhere.
