Setien: Managing Griezmann is complicated

Without “destabilizing” the squad managing Antoine Griezmann is intricate, as he put into additional doubt the future of the Frenchman, admitted Barcelona head coach Quique Setien.

In the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie, Griezmann hasn’t scored, since Barca’s 1-1 draw against Napoli, before the coronavirus pandemic in February.

“I know why it is impossible for Griezmann to come back because there is too little time remaining. I’m going to talk to him tomorrow, I’m not going to say sorry but it’s about choices.” Setien said in his press conference.

“But I understand that he might feel bad and I feel bad for him because he’s a great and professional person.”
