The France international is no longer assured of a place in the starting line-up as he prepares to face former club Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou
As broadcasters began to show replays of Iago Aspas’ late equaliser for Celta Vigo against Barcelona on Saturday, the eyes of all watching Blaugrana supporters focused on the actions of one man.
Stood on the end of the defensive wall as Aspas lined up his free kick was Antoine Griezmann. Having been left out of the starting line-up, the France international had been thrown on by Quique Setien in a bid to ensure Barca did not drop any more points in their quest to fight off Real Madrid in the Liga title race.

Instead, Griezmann was the man to blame come the full-time whistle in Vigo. The former Atletico Madrid forward turned his back on Aspas’ effort rather than attempting to block it, and with Marc-Andre ter Stegen unsighted, the ball found its way into the bottom corner of his goal.
