Gerard Pique: Antoine Griezmann’s goal was important for his confidence

Gerard Pique said it was important for Antoine Griezmann to rediscover his goalscoring touch after Barcelona’s 4-1 win over Villarreal on Sunday.

The Frenchman was restored to the starting XI for the match and netted his 15th goal of the season for the Catalan giants with a brilliant lob to make it 3-1.

Griezmann’s goal was just his second in La Liga in 2020, and Pique feels it will give him a much-needed confidence boost.

“The three points are important to continue fighting for La Liga. This game was very important for us.
