BARCELONA – Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann must have been relishing Tuesday's match with former club Atletico Madrid, but even with his side drawing 2-2 and needing a winner to rescue their ailing La Liga title bid, he was not called upon until added time.
But after the match, the focus on Griezmann's fall from grace since his €120-million move from Atletico last year was even greater than the team's title bid. But perhaps worst of all for him was coach Quique Setien's declaration that bringing on Griezmann earlier would not have helped his side. "The players on the pitch were playing well and it wasn't easy to find a place for him without destabilising the team. I don't normally make late changes but I thought a player like him could win the game with one play."
