Griezmann, 28, moved to the Camp Nou from Atletico Madrid and got off to a disjointed start in Catalonia, but Lenglet told reporters his French compatriot has proved any doubters wrong: "No one can say anything about Griezmann, it is something I had already commented on and now (it's less relevant).

The forward—who netted 133 goals in 257 appearances for Atleti—has scored twice in his last three league games, registering a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win away to Eibar:
