It’s taken a while but Antoine Griezmann’s performance against a stubborn Osasuna side was exactly what he needed.
He showed character, a solid work ethic and an eye for goal, and his general all-round play, for once, couldn’t be faulted.

With the transfer window just a few weeks away, the Frenchman could still fetch a pretty penny in the market and, injuries permitting, Barca certainly have the players to cover for his absence in the short term at the very least.
