Barcelona’s status as one of the biggest clubs in the world means that the pressure to deliver on the biggest stages is an ever-present at the club, with the players expected to not just win all matches played, but to win convincingly and with style.

Not many players can cope with the pressure associated with the Blaugrana, as the abrupt step up in expectation from their previous clubs could see most of them choke under the pressure, but this would not be a problem for Antoine Griezmann, as he is already used to playing on the biggest stages.

With Atletico, he regularly contested for major trophies, making it to the final of the Champions League, while also playing and winning the Europa League final with the Colchoneros.

On the international scene, the 28-year-old has also played (and scored) in the biggest game in football – winning the World Cup with France, and also contested the final of EURO 2016 on home soil where he finished as runner up to Portugal.

Given the levels he has performed at, he would be able to cope with the expectation level at Barcelona and as such, chances are higher that he would succeed at the club.
