Antoine Griezmann has admitted to copying a technique used by Lionel Messi in training, after he scored his first Barcelona goals in his home debut against Real Betis on Sunday evening.
Barca are already in the midst of a minor injury crisis, and had to make do without the injured trio of Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele as they attempted to recover from an opening day defeat at Bilbao.
It was just as well they had the quality of Griezmann to step in, then, and the French forward led the line exquisitely – scoring the first two of five goals as the Blaugrana came from behind to win 5-2.
