Barcelona face threat of stadium closure as Griezmann dispute rumbles on

Atletico Madrid continue to contest the fee received from their Liga rivals in a summer transfer, with potential sanctions now being drawn up

Barcelona face the threat of being forced to play a game behind closed doors as their transfer dispute with Atletico Madrid and a deal involving Antoine Griezmann rumbles on.

A year on from seeing the France international pass up the chance to move to Camp Nou, he finally arrived during the summer transfer window of 2019.

Barca agreed to pay the release clause in his contract, with €120 million (£107m/$134m) changing hands between two Liga rivals.
