Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann recalled his unsuccessful move to Barcelona.
"When you leave, you understand more. You're happy here, but you don't realise it and you live a normal life. When you leave and go through a bad phase, you realise what you've lost and try to get that level of love back.
Now I wake up every morning and enjoy everything: going to training, being able to wear this emblem, being with my teammates, being with this coach. And my family is also very happy here.
I know that the club is trying to extend my stay here. As I said before, after Europe I would like to go to MLS. But Atletico will almost one hundred per cent be my last club in Europe. This is the place where I want to be, where I feel the happiest, and here I am at home," AS quoted the 32-year-old Frenchman as saying.
Griezmann played for Atletico Madrid from 2014 to 2019 before joining Barcelona, but he only stayed at the Catalan club for two years before returning to Madrid in 2021 on loan. Subsequently, Antoine signed a full contract with the Matzos until 2026.
