Barcelona 5-2 Valencia - 4 players who impressed for the Catalans | LaLiga 2019/2020

#3 Antoine Griezmann

Griezmann warming up prior to kickoff

It has been a mixed start to life for Antoine Griezmann at Barcelona since completing his record breaking transfer from Atletico Madrid over the summer.

The 28-year-old had an inconspicuous debut in the 1-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao, before starring in the 5-2 victory over Real Betis on his home debut.

Griezmann put up another anonymous showing in the 2-2 draw with Osasuna, and he would have been happy to spend some time away from the glaring lights of Camp Nou while on international duty with France.

Against Valencia, he was once again deployed as the focal point of attack, and even though he failed to register a goal in the victory, it was from his shot that Cillensen fumbled for Pique to put Barcelona 3-1 up.

Moreover, the former Real Sociedad man made up for that with his willingness to track back and help out with defending, while he was totally at ease with Barcelona's expansive style which goes in stark contrast to the more restrictive football played under Diego Simeone.
