Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has praised the club's outgoing forward Antoine Griezmann.
The France international confirmed this week this season would be his last at Atletico, having spent five years with the club after moving from Real Sociedad. The player's decision comes just a year on from his choice to sign a new contract in the Spanish capital amid interest from Barcelona.
