3 reasons Barcelona should not sign Antoine Griezmann

#2. Harsh but true: he's just not a big-game player

Juventus erased a two-goal deficit to progress into the quarter-finals, but Griezmann struggled in both legs

This one is frequently swept under the carpet and filed under criticism of Diego Simeone's side collectively - but being their talisman, Griezmann must take more responsibility.

You can scour the Internet for individual stats or watch the games themselves but when the pressure is on, the bright lights are shining and Atletico need their main man to step up against top opposition? He's often either underwhelming or quiet.

Juventus home and away in the last-16 earlier this year, what did he do? What about crunch league games against Real and Barca themselves this season? With three goals and one assist against the pair in his last twelve league games - spanning three seasons - it's just not good enough.

This has been a common theme and doesn't just relate to this season either. At last summer's World Cup, he was France's joint top goalscorer with four: three penalties and a wicked deflection goal.

He earned more praise than his displays merited when Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba were Les Bleus' standout performers. In knockout games or against tough opposition, he often falters and that's not exactly something you expect from a world-class forward is it?
