All eyes on Antoine Griezmann as Barcelona head to Atletico Madrid

Barcelona take on Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Sunday in what promises to be a stiff test of the champions’ shaky away form and will see Antoine Griezmann return to his former team for the first time since leaving for the Camp Nou in a €120 million deal in the summer.

The Frenchman is expected to face a tough reception from the Wanda Metropolitano crowd. He came close to leaving the season before but rejected a move in his infamous La Decision documentary and then signed a contract extension designed to keep him at the club until 2023.
