'Joining Barca is difficult for everybody' - Suarez says Griezmann has squad's support

The 28-year-old France international hasn't hit form since joining from Atletico Madrid, but his veteran team-mate has backed him to shine

Luis Suarez has defended under-fire Barcelona team-mate Antoine Griezmann, saying that a spell of adaptation after joining the Catalan giants is only natural.

The 28-year-old France international has come under fire for a slow start to life at Camp Nou since joining from Atletico Madrid this summer, though he did score in the midweek win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

With four La Liga goals to his name, Griezmann is still finding his feet in his new surroundings – and Suarez doesn’t think he should be hung out to dry for it.
