Spanish journalist used his smartphone to grill Griezmann

The tone was set from the beginning of the press conference with stricts rules in place to prevent questions being asked in any other language than French. The ban however, was no obstacle for one Spanish journalist who employed a different technique to ask his question.

Far from being put off by the use of French exclusively, Pedro Morata of 'Cadena SER', used his smartphone to translate the question that has been on everyone's lips in recent months: Has Griezmann made his decision regarding his future at Atletico Madrid?

The reporters reaction was to put the microphone to his phone and use the voice of the online translator to formulate his question in French, prompting an amused reaction from the room, including a laugh from Griezmann himself.

The Atletico striker did actually deliver an answer to the question: Today is not the day to talk about my future.
