4 Reasons why Antoine Griezmann will be a perfect fit for Barcelona

#3 Great link-up play

Athletic Club v Club Atletico de Madrid - La Liga

The 28-year-old Atléti superstar has the great ability to play a one-two in a very tight space and has the gifted sense of opposition’s positioning all the time.

The way Griezmann performed over the years for both Atlético Madrid and for the French national team, is a clear indication that he can be as good as anyone when it comes to holding on to the ball and create spaces for his partners.

With Messi always lurking just outside the box, these two can form a formidable partnership for the Blaugranas. Both Messi and Griezmann can also play in the hole and feed each other with crucial key passes.

Griezmann has also got a through ball in him which Barcelona have thrived for, since the departure of Andres Iniesta to Japan. There shouldn’t be any hint of doubt, given the quality Griezmann will bring to this already incredible attacking Barcelona line-up.
