Antoine Griezmann says it’s been difficult to connect with Lionel Messi at Barcelona

Antoine Griezmann spoke about his relationship with Lionel Messi in Tuesday’s pre-match press conference ahead of Barcelona’s clash with Inter Milan.

The France international has barely played with the GOAT this season due to Messi’s injury problems and says it’s been difficult to form a relationship with the captain.

However, Griezmann reckons the two players are heading in the right direction and also spoke about what he needs to do to improve at his new club.

“He is not someone who talks a lot and neither am I. It’s difficult, I have already given him some maté and we are going in the right direction,” he said.
