Antoine Griezmann, as he did upon his arrival in Barcelona on Saturday, was full of praise for Lionel Messi at his presentation at Camp Nou on Sunday.
"What makes me most happy is being able to share a dressing room and a mate [a South American drink] with Messi," he joked.
"I am really happy, he's the No.1 and a reference for all players. In NBA you have Lebron James, in football you have Messi. He's going to be a legend for my kids and for their kids. It's a joy to be able to play with him."
Griezmann was also asked how he expects to be received by Messi and Luis Suarez when they return from their break after the Copa America.
It was suggested they could be annoyed with his The Decision documentary from last summer: "Maybe. We will see when I get the chance to meet up with them. Everything can be fixed with assists on the pitch."

Well Now with Griezmann in Barcelona i think we don't want Neymar.We can't possibly afford him.We should keep Coutinho and Give him chance in the midfield.With Dembele Messi and Griezmann Upfront 😂Ohh My God😂 Upfront with Coutinho as an attacking Midfielder and Arthur-Rakitic-Frenkie as holding midfielder.

Suarez is the least happy person in the squad coz he thinks Griezmann will take his place,similarly the reaction on Malcom face when he saw Griezmann was horrible

Griezmann is a human he made a mistake and he is indirectly fixing things with his words.He is a fantastic player we know Messi will welcome him very well.The only thing i think they forgot to ask him was the word he said he was eating on thesame table as Messi and Ronaldo.
