Antoine Griezmann has described new club Barcelona as a “cheat code” in a video game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Frenchman completed a highly controversial \u00a3107.6m switch from Atletico Madridearlier this month after Bar\u00e7a triggered his release clause.<\/p>\n

Where will Griezmann play at Barca? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Griezmann has joined a side awash with attacking talent.<\/li>\n
  • He will rival the likes of Messi,\u00a0Luis Suarez,\u00a0Philippe Coutinho,\u00a0Ousmane Dembele and\u00a0Malcom for a starting place.<\/li>\n
  • His move hasn’t\u00a0come without controversy, however, with Atleti reportedly<\/a> irked by Bar\u00e7a’s handling of the deal.<\/li>\n
  • It is believed Atleti are unhappy Bar\u00e7a were in contact with the star before his eventual move.<\/li>\n
  • Either way, Griezmann has kept his talking to the pitch, and has since spoken in awe-stricken terms about his new teammates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The World Cup-winner is set to play a key role in Ernesto Valverde’s starting XI across 2019\/20 as the Blaugrana look to end a five-year wait for European glory next season, and he is relishing the opportunity of potentially starring alongside Lionel Messi & Co.<\/p>\n

    “Barcelona are building a team like a cheat code in a video game: Luis Suarez, Messi, Dembele, Frenkie de Jong,” he told Marca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “We have a good team, great players and then it’s the boss that has to decide who plays.<\/p>\n

    “We’ll be ready to enjoy ourselves and make the fans and ourselves happy at all times.”<\/p>\n
