I''m so glad our fans never blame Griezmann for this failure. He was almost as much as victim as us Barca fans from this transfer.

Nothing hurts more for them to let Messi leave for free when they had the chance to sell him to Man City for £350 million but they wanted £600 million

He failed at Barca for the same reason Coutinho failed: they both played in the same role as Messi. They spent 120 and 140 million on players that had to be forced to play on the left wing when their true position was the same as Messi's. Bartomeu is the worst president of a football club in history.

Bartomeu is the most incompetent peace of work ever tbh

I still can’t believe what bartemeo did to Barcelona. He is nothing more than a piece of shit. That 120 million used on Griezmann should have been used to strengthen our defense. That season, In the attack we had ansu fati, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. Why did we waste our money on another attacker

You also forgot one thing. If we didn’t sign griezmann we could have kept Messi.

He is an example of a right player arriving at the wrong time. I still believe griezmann's second season with barcelona was wonderful . He had 20 goals and 13 assists in all competions. No body in current barcelona squad puts up these type of Stats today . But because he came at massive fee of 120 million and because of his high wages no body rated him that much and we had to ship him off . He is won of the primary reasons why barcelona won the copa del Rey that season . Imagine him playing as an interior in xavi's system. With his defensive work rate he would have been a perfect player for us .

It is truly incredibe on how Griezmann managed to become among the league's best footballers. He used to be and still the face of Atletico, but sometimes it feels like Atletico is a big limitation to such a great player, the club rarely wins any silverware and cuz of that, Griezmann is NEVER talked about by anyone. Even in the recent light of the 22 wc in qatar, Griezmann had the MOST joint assists in the tournament and also created the most chances for his team. It is such a frustrating thing when people lend all the glory to Mbappe in the french squad, when Griezmann does all the dirty work in the back.

What many fans forget is, at that time Greizmann was also the 3rd best player in the world. Take the money out of it and I'm sure most Barca fans would've had little issue with him outside of wanting a few more goals. Unfortunately, like Coutino, Barcelona missused them during their time at the club.

The biggest robbery in football transfer market was Dembele to Barca coming from a Madridista.

Sometimes i wonder, if bartomeu was hired by real madrid to weaken barca. Signing a player for 120 million that is not even required in the team and when he is actually needed, sold him for merely 20 million. Who in the right mind would do that?Although, griezmann was definitlely worth 100 million at that time.

Can’t blame Griezmann for the club’s incompetence

We pay 120 for Griezmann, give him back to Atleti for a 1/4 of the price, then give them Suarez who helped them to a title. We really gave them that La Liga. I guess we're theyre daddy now

Dont forget Liverpool sold Coutinho to Barca for 150 mil pounds🤷🏻‍♂️

Just like coutinho Griezmann wasn't bad at barca. People just had high expectations

it always seemed to be, that after the very successfull neymar/suarez transfer combo, Barcelona just wanted to sign the players who had the best season, big names, "Meta" players. Bringing in names was the top priority, instead of bringing what the team needed. If Barca had signed up Rodri back then, it would've made a HUGE difference.

Griezmann was playing as a winger (i know he used to be a winger but things has changed bc his playstyle is a lil different now) he mostly wanted to play as a forward and the main man was Messi ofc that's why the likes of Coutinho flopped to bc he wasn't the main man but great video robby keep up the good work

Dembele was even worse At least Griezmann scored important goals for us lol

Coutinho. Dont forget Coutinho. 😂

Griezmann was not even CLOSE to being as bad as portrayed by Barca fans. 114 matches played, 35 goals 17 assists is not even close to being bad enough to call him a flop. Hazard was WAY worse for Real.

Greizmann is atleti and atleti is greizmann. No and ifs or buts. I’m glad he got a chance to live out a dream but he’s our boy

Everything came breaking down as soon as they let Neymar go and got Coutino as their big replacement. Half the signing after that was just terrible investments.

Now that you mention it, we could have gotten rodri for cheaper than griezmann, and the CDM position could've been set for 10 more years. But one thing i don't understand is why let him go when messi left and that no. 10 place in the team was open

Greatest robbery has to be for Joao Felix and I don’t know how it’s not spoken about more, he has been terrible for the money spent on him

Griezzmann could have taken over the reigns after messi left since they have a very similar profile and yet they decide to send him back the same year they lose messi, what in the world was the board smoking at the time??

Bartomeu not only fked up the whole of Barcelona but so many players couldn't play properly in their position only buying forward no proper defence ,midfield after Messi left was only managed by busquets

tbf if koeman and setien wasnt our coach when griezmann was at barca, griezmann wouldve been successful here, if only valverde continued or someone like xavi had took over then maybe he wouldve been great here. i pin the blame on bartomeu and abidal, why cant you negosiate for less than 100m why do we have to activate his release clause. valverde asked for griezmann since 2017 after neymar left but those two decided to sign coutinho and dembele for 300m

The fact that he would be perfect for Barcelona right now is what makes me freaking mad By far a better player than Lewandisney whos just a finisher

The Bartameou era was notorious for excessive spending on attackers we didn't need

bartomeu is every real madrid fans’ favourite barca staff

The biggest error was not Griezmann. It was Messi. Letting him stay on such an obscene salary was a mortgage that will kill the club for the next 20 years.

I find it funny how Barca fans twerk for griezmann when he plays against Real Madrid but don’t hate the man for flopping and leaving for 20mil just for him to return to world class level

We had too many #10s on the team and no direct threat. Griezmann was just another #10 and he was never going to be an out and out striker. It was a great player for the wrong team at the wrong time

we should have focused on Suarez and not waste money on Griezmann (the pain of being a Barca fan🥲)

If griezmann and coutinho werent signed neither suarez not messi would have been forced to leave

Bartomeu single handedly won Real Madrid LaLiga 2020 and I thank him for that

You should a make a video like this on Coutinho

Simeone a mastermind for selling griezmann for 100 mil bankrupting Barca and forcing them to sell Messi b4 getting griezmann back

i hate bartemou. i just cant . this guy is the reason we bought same player for same postion . useless players and in the end bankrupcy. the guys who said xavi out was never a fan. people have to understand that we are building a project. and now idk who is better coach then hansi flick . as we really need some german discipline

Ne blâmez pas Antoine, il a fait de son mieux pour Barça. Blâmez Bartomeu il est un président incompétent et il a ruiné le club avec ses mauvais transfers et son mauvais choix de managers. J’ai adoré Griezmann en Barça.

conclusion: you don't know the meaning of the word robery.

First of all, thank you for this great video about my idol. Grizou has exactly ONE problem: he is too versatile. He can be placed in any available position on the field, except as goalkeeper. But if you look for world class in him, then in vain. He is not what Barcelona were looking for, a world-class player in a SINGLE position. And that's why even I would never spend 120 million on him, he can't fulfill that. Nevertheless, I ask those who blame him for Messi having to leave the club to consider whether Antoine alone contributed to this, and not others too. And please show a little more respect, even if it hurts. Thanks!

lol the 442oons Barca logos 😂

this is what happens when you buy a player that plays in a style and system completely different to yours 🗿 there's a problem with the trequartistas and shadow strikers when played in a 4-3-3

This guy single handedly messed up Messi's career. He would have a lot more UCL trophies if this incompetent piece of trash wasn't the president. I don't expect barca to its former glory for at least 8-7 years.

Well what can I say Thank you Bartomeu for destroying my football club.

Lovely video mate!

Signing a player that had laughed in our faces with pique should of been a sign to never speak to him and his agents again (let alone pay so much fucking money for him) and shipped Pique out the club cause tf was he doing working with him and clowning the whole club on national television but bartomeu so incompetent he did the opposite, contract for pique and sign griezmann.

Antoinne Griezmann is just a footballer who was trabsfrered for an overpriced feed and played at qorld class level for 3 years at the club but who just didn't quite pan out that well as many had expected whom Barcelona was able to sell back for a substantial fraction of the prize they paid. Same for Dembele and Coutinho who was loaned to Bayern at a fee of €8.5m and eventually sold to Asyon Vulla for a few of €20m Barcelona being able to recover €28.5m from his transfer fee. Eden Hazard on the other hand was an attacking midfielder who transferred for what is still a club record fee and was chronically injured, spent most of his time on the bench, and eventually retired after an uneventful late career without them being avle to recover ANY of the money from his transfer fee or his wages. Why doesn't anybody talk about that instead?

I lost it when he himself said “ I should be in talks along with Messi and Cr7” and when he had the chance he did not come close, yes he is an exceptional playmaker and contributions but no where near the greats no no not at all. When he said that I knew he was another looking to boost himself that boost himself on the field.

I don’t know how they managed to make him leave his contract to earn way less in atleti. Good for them he is weak emotionally and bend.

The biggest robbery of all was kicking Messi out. That was undeserved. Their best player who kept Barca in the CL and made them the best team in the world for a decade. The minute he left, Barca was relegated.

Griezmann wasn’t so bad man ☹️

There are certain players that aren't made for Barcelona or at least, their position doesn't exit in the Barca system. Griezman and Coutinho were some of those players. If Griezman is to be in this current squad, he will have to play as a number 10, which naturally doesn't exist in Barca, or he will play as a right winger and be given the freedom to cut in, the freedom which I doubt Xavi will give him. The same way I feel Raphinha will do more damage to opposition if given more freedom to roam.

I love Griezmann as a player...except for his diving like turning the tide against Croatia with an already insane amount of ref bias in favor of France. You know what, f him

Great video and channel man. Keep it up! (Brief pedantic note: it’s Futbol Club Barcelona, not Futbol Club de Barcelona 😝)

I wish we had Griezmann now.

No ones talking about how Messi could’ve stayed if we didn’t pay so much for grizzi or gave him such a high salary

As a Barca fan all I have to say that Barcelona are like the one guy that won the lottery but doesn’t know how to manage their money and within 10yrs they go broke. That’s barcelona and now they are paying the price literally.

He should make a documentary about this

20 goals a season, and a flop…get a load of this guy💀

1:03 dude doesn't even want ucl He just wants the league title and still failed

Barcelona destroyed a few careers. Just like Chelsea and Man Utd these days..

João Félix was the biggest robbery ever.

Another problem during those seasons were that Piqué kept on playing even though his expiry date had passed 3 years ago. This guy retired 5 or 6 years too late. Kept on playing even on a single broken leg. He became such a liability to barcelona and they suffered comebacks in the Champions League because this clown was running out of gas after 60 minutes of football.

Wage restrictions are also the reason they had to sell griezmann btw. Imagine having 2 players have a wage of over 30 Million with griezmann and de jong Both of them together would amount to around 74* million a year

Going back to Atletico with his pink hair like a rejected clown was the perfect end to this transfer lmao

Acclimate?.,its ACCLIMATISE!..deary me!

It makes me happy that many Barça fans think of Griezmann highly & his shortcomings wasn't due to his performances but mismanagement at the club. And that's exactly what happened. Griezmann had already been linked to Barcelona, but right after Liverpool came back to win 4-0 at Anfield, all the Griezmann rumors intensified because the media felt that Barcelona needed another player who can score goals if Messi & Suarez can't do so & Coutinho was made into a scapegoat. And Barcelona fans like myself bought into that. That's why they quickly loaned him out to Bayern. Tactically, the "MSG" front 3 was going to be a handful because one of them would have to play LW and none of them are comfortable playing there, and that's why Barcelona should have tried to sign a true LW instead of Griezmann, especially for 120 million. But this video hits the nail on the head: it's a robbery for everyone. Barcelona were robbed financially (thanks Bartomeu), they were robbed from having a great player like Griezmann in their squad after he left, & Griezmann was robbed himself of winning La Liga with Atletico Madrid in 2020/21 & two years of unfair scrutiny that also carried over into his first season back at Atletico.

I wouldn't let Bartomeu to manage a vegetable stand tbh. He gave out 30m+ contracts to every player, only FDJ still remains, so Laporta also rightly wants to sell him. No player can justify such a contract.

no one expected a downfall once he moved back 😂 he had great stats

Fair call on Rodri, but could we have got him? Atleti needs to agree the deal as does the player. Maybe he would have preferred City. To my point though, having a go at Pique in that sentiment is just stupid. And you mentioned De Ligt to boot.

Calling 03/04 Barca bad is an utter embarrassment 😂 Peak Ronaldinho... I'm going to give that you aren't old enough to remember but the early 2000's weren't an era of 50 goals for one striker etc. Defences were infinitely better then also.

It was very obvious Griezmann should've not left Aletico Madrid. Wasn't for greedy president Bartemeo barca could've kept Messi.

What's your thoughts on Hansi Flick possibly becoming Barca manager

i’m a barca fan and griezmann is still a genius, easily top 5 of this/last generation and one of my favorite players. that was all bartomeu’s fault, if we already had a messi where was griezmann going to fit? god knows what i hope happens to that fraud bartomeu…..

Let’s not forget about couthino 😂

Griezman 🤝 Eden Hazard about robbing Spain teams

I look at you and immediately I think "you must be a barcelona fan"... and not because you using the barça shirt

Unfortunately Griezmann got the blame. Our fans and players are everything, our front office is an utter disgrace.

Remember griezmann refused to reduce his salary

can we at least agree on how cute and incredibly gorgeous Griezmann was with that long hair? I had feelings for him ngl

In any other buisnes if you squander away over 250 million your going to be sacked ,held accountable and financialy scrutinised the 130 mill on coutinho and this signing are baffling and someone should be in prison for fraud someone somewhere made/pocketed alot of money .but its more bizare the fact they never gave both players a real chance

Keep in mind if Barca didnt win the treble in 2015 Bartou would have been let go that year

People hate him for diving in World Cup final…

R.I.P Barcelona 😅

in short, barcelona aint nothing without negreira. this club has become a joke

I think he didn't succeed because Messi was there

is it a robbery if u sign a good player and he suddenly plays bad or is a matter of your coach being shit? After he return to old club he played better what a suprise

ATM got the money😂😂😂😂 Barca Got 8_2😂😊

Didn't we have to pay another extra 20 mil to atletico? So we actually paid 140 mil for griezmann.

Great story telling man

And this is why Barcelona is a dead club, although Madrid messed up the hazard deal. This is worseeeeeee

you should do a video on how barca went broke

I can't believe our only really sucessful attacker was Lewandowski since Suarez and Neymar.

the thumbnail is a piece of art

Im still trying to understand exactly why they signed him when you have messi in team. I mean i know Bartomeu was dumb but damn that man was more than just dumb. He was a serious idiot.

He is not a failure, he just Made the bad decision of going to Barcelona to reduce himself to be just another pawn of Messi... 🤷 Bad decisions that he most likely regreat but as it happens to everybody, in life there's no going back... 🤷

You left out the part where Griezmann and dembele mocked ( and uploaded the video to social media themselves)a Japanese man fixing there hotel while on a paid sponsorship trip to Japan paid for by a Japanese company, which caused outrage in Japan ultimately forcing barca to give there Japanese sponsors a discount to stop them pulling out

Griezmann is to slow to play in Barcelona offensive scheme
