Antoine Griezmann Lost Sleep over 'Difficult' Decision to Snub Barcelona

Antoine Griezmann has admitted he lost sleep over his summer decision to remain at Atletico Madrid rather than join Barcelona.

He ended up signing a new contract at the Wanda Metropolitano, but he said it was a real challenge to decide between the two clubs, per Telefoot (h/t ESPN FC's Ian Holyman):

"There were times when I wasn't feeling good. I spoke about it with my wife. I woke her up at three in the morning and asked her, 'What are we going to do?' Because I tried to talk about it, but she can't help me, she doesn't know what I'm thinking.
