Antoine Griezmann, who cost Barcelona 120 million euros last summer, watched Tuesday's match against Madrid's Atletico as a spectator. The Frenchman, who moved from Atletico to Barcelona, stepped onto the field in the 90th minute of the mentioned match. He has already risen from the bench in three matches where the Catalans remained without a victory - also against Sevilla and Celta Vigo. After the match, Quique Setien openly admitted that A. Griezmann currently does not have a place in the starting lineup. "The problem is that not everyone can play," said Setien. "We have to make decisions. Maybe it wasn't logical to send him out at that time, but it's better to have a few minutes than nothing at all." "A player like Antoine can always do something good. We didn't let him go earlier because the team was playing well. Puig did well with his tasks, and Messi and Suarez have to stay in the field as long as possible. It's hard to find a place for Griezmann without disrupting the team," added the coach. The 29-year-old forward usually plays as a left-winger in Barcelona this season. He has appeared in 43 matches and scored 14 goals.
