Antoine Griezmann’s move to FC Barcelona creates new episode in a spat between his former club Atletico Madrid and his new club
"I'll defend the Barca colours with all my determination and commitment. It's our time. This is our path", says Antoine Griezmann whose moving sparked a furious reaction from Atletico Madrid over the amount Barcelona paid for.
Barcelona won the Spanish league title last season but it lost the Copa del Rey final to Valencia and squandered a three-nil lead following the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final against Liverpool."I want to win it all. La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League. They are both the club's and my goals. I wish I can achieve it here," said the Frenchman.
"When I was a boy, my dad taught me that trains don't come around just once," Griezmann said in a video posted on the Barcelona website on Friday."Finally, our paths cross. I'll defend the Barca colours with all my determination and commitment. It's our time. This is our path."
