Griezmann whistles expected on Atletico Madrid return as club president reacts to shock deal with Barcelona

Enrique Cerezo is delighted to have a familiar face back at Wanda Metropolitano, but concedes that some fans will need to be won over again

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo admits Antoine Griezmann is likely to be whistled by certain sections of the club's support following his return from Barcelona, with the Frenchman needing to build bridges following a "strange" exit in 2019.

After seeing a move to Camp Nou mooted for some time, the World Cup winner headed to Catalunya in a €120 million (£103m/$142m) deal.

The 30-year-old is now back in the Spanish capital on a two-year loan agreement that includes a mandatory €40m (£34m/$47m) purchase option, with the France international hoping to win over sceptics in Madrid and pick up where he left off with the reigning La Liga champions.
