Griezmann rues Barcelona mistakes and says Atletico had fresher legs in Super Cup

Antoine Griezmann blamed Barcelona’s Super Cup defeat to Atletico Madrid on Thursday on his team’s mistakes and his former club’s better legs.

Barcelona came from behind to lead 2-1 thanks to goals from Lionel Messi and Griezmann and then saw efforts from Gerard Pique and Messi ruled out by VAR.

Atletico won it through late goals by Alvaro Morata and Angel Correa, with Griezmann offering his thoughts after the match.

“I don’t know what happens. I think we lost because of our own mistakes and they had fresher legs at the end.
