'They know nothing!' - Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann fires back at Optus Sport presenters after he was branded a 'luxury player'

LaLiga

Mallorca

Atletico Madrid

<p>Griezmann was the subject of a debate during a podcast by Australian broadcaster Optus Sport featuring former footballers Jay Bothroyd and Mark Schwarzer and journalists Julien Laurens and Phil Kitromilides. One-time England international Bothroyd said Griezmann could not be considered world class as he had a disappointing spell at Barcelona, calling him a "luxury player" and claiming he "floats into positions". He even compared him to Dimitar Berbatov.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Replying to Optus Sport's video on X, Griezmann wrote: "They know nothing about football!", accompanied by a pizza emoji.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">They know nothing about football ! 🍕</p>— Antoine Griezmann (@AntoGriezmann) <a href="https://twitter.com/AntoGriezmann/status/1771186852126445712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT GRIEZMANN SAID

<p>Griezmann had a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/griezmann-losing-the-fight-to-prove-hes-not-just-another-barcelona-transfer-flop/2djvajgbpug71ky7ijimjrc5i" target="_blank">hugely disappointing two-year spell with Barcelona</a> after signing from Atletico for €120m (£103m/$130m) in 2019. He scored just 35 goals in 102 matches for the Blaugrana and only won the Copa del Rey. He returned to Atletico two years later for just €20m (£17m) and has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/antoine-griezmann-atletico-madrid-worlds-best-2023-revenge-barcelona/blt7f2ae874b276e0a9" target="_blank">revitalised his career</a>, becoming the club's all-time top scorer and also having a tremendous 2022 World Cup campaign with France.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Griezmann has scored 176 goals and set up a further 83 for Atletico. He is France's fourth top scorer of all-time on 44 goals, 12 behind record holder Olivier Giroud, and he may well have his sights set on breaking that record. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Griezmann will be in action for France on Saturday in a friendly against Germany before facing Chile on Tuesday. He will then return to Atletico duty, with his side facing Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-finals in April.</p>
