Barcelona didn't hesitate to bet strongly on Antoine Griezmann. They always amde it clear that the number '7' deserved a place in their strike force.
They already tried to sign him the summer before. Griezmann considered it a lot, but eventually revealed that he would stay at Atletico Madrid. He did it through a documentary titled 'La Decisión'.
But, this year, Griezmann started to think that maybe his time had come to an end at Atletico. He wanted to try new things. And then he came to an agreement with Barca.
He always dreamed of playing alongside Messi and this dream became a reality. However, settling in was not easy for him.
His first Barcelona goal was against Napoli in pre-season. In La Liga, he debuted with a brace against Betis. It was a great show from the Frenchman, who scored two goals and also got an assist.
After this, he did not score again until week 6, against Villarreal, then his next goal was in week 9, against Eibar.
He has scored four goals so far in La Liga. But beyond this figure, the important thing seems to be that Griezmann is settling more and more in Barcelona.
He already said it after the last game. He still has to work harder for the Messi-Suarez-Griezmann connection to work. "We have to understand each other more," were Griezmann's exact words. He still has to work harder for the Messi-Suárez-Griezmann connection to multiply. It seems that all three, and Griezmann in particular, are on the right track.
