'I cried tears of happiness' - Griezmann reveals overwhelming emotions after Barcelona move

Antoine Griezmann has revealed that he cried tears of joy once his move to Barcelona was finalised.

The forward became one of the highest profile transfers of the summer window last week following a €120 million (£108m/$135m) move to the Catalan giants, who triggered his release clause to bring him to Camp Nou

The France international was the subject of controversy following the move, with former club Atletico Madrid claiming that Barcelona had agreed a deal with the player months before the end of the season – when his release clause had dropped by £70m ($88m).
