While delighted after his new XXL performance against Celtic, Antoine Griezmann did not appreciate a question from a journalist.

Antoine Griezmann is definitely in (very) great shape. This is evidenced by his new recital against Celtic Glasgow. Because if Atletico Madrid made short work of the Scottish club, winning 6-0 at the end of a one-sided match, it is largely thanks to the Frenchman, author of a double, including an acrobatic volley, and omnipresent on the pitch.

The former Barcelona player did not shy away from his pleasure at the end of the meeting. “ I am full of confidence. I’m enjoying being here a lot so we have to continue “, he confided to the microphone of Canal+, before discussing his positioning in midfield: “ I played as a midfielder, I try to do what a midfielder does: scratch balls, pass, get into the opponent’s area. It doesn’t matter what my position is. I watch a lot of football to learn two or three movements that need to be done and then imbue it with my own sauce. »

The Mâconnais has been resplendent since the start of the season. “ The secret is that I love football and I really enjoy it “, he explained. And if he only signed on the 21ste rank in the ranking of the last Ballon d’Or, he has once again become one of the best players in the world. To the point of sitting at the table with Haaland, Mbappé and others? The question was asked to him in a mixed zone, which the person concerned clearly did not appreciate. “ The table thing, you’ve exploited it enough… I’m just at my table”, he said in reference to his comments made in September 2018 when he said he was at the same table as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
