For the last two seasons since Neymar departed Barcelona, the club has struggled massively to fill the void left by the Brazilian.

Multiple players have tried and failed, from Malcom to Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele, and there is every possibility that Griezmann would suffer the same fate.

On his day, the 28-year-old is an exceptionally talented player, but it takes a lot more than just talent to excel in a lineup together with Suarez and Messi.

Neymar had seemingly mastered the playing style of Messi and Suarez, and together, the trio formed one of the most devastating attacking tridents in history, helping the Blaugrana to numerous titles.

At Barcelona, everything revolves around Lionel Messi on the field and this is a fact all players understand and adapt to. However, having been the central figure at Atletico Madrid and the French national team, Griezmann might have some difficulty adpating to this new subservient role.

He had earlier expressed reservations about being Lionel Messi's lieutenant and in light of having never played together with either Messi or Suarez, he could be the latest to struggle in attack with the pair.
