"Griezmann's situation is critical"

Antoine Griezmann has to play, yes or yes, because of everything Barcelona did to close his transfer. However, his situation is complicated and he still hasn't found his place in the squad. In the 'Clásico' he stayed on the bench and in the Champions League he didn't play either.

"Griezmann is great. He is very, very good player and he is fantastic for France. But not at all for Barcelona. It's a real problem," said Lizarazu in a conversation with 'Téléfoot'.

The former player invited the Frenchman to leave Camp Nou whenever he feels it is appropriate because he has been playing a less than prominent role for more than a year now. 

"He went to Barcelona with the dream of playing with Messi, but unfortunately there is no technical relationship between the two and it is not seen on the pitch. Griezmann cannot find his place and can no longer play football with Barcelona," he continued.

Lizarazu understood that what is happening to Griezmann is "a crisis of confidence" and that "he should not hesitate to leave if he does not find his place".

"It's been 18 months, not two. The situation is critical," said Lizarazu.
