Antoine Griezmann apologises to Atletico Madrid teammates after 'relegation' outburst

Antoine Griezmann has apologised to Atletico Madrid teammates after his outburst last month.

The Frenchman spoke after his brace against Celta Vigo yesterday.

"We needed to put in a game like that, I'm very happy for the team, for what we gave out on the pitch - we put in a great game.

"I'd like to say sorry because I shouldn't have come out with the comments I made, in public (in Leganés); those things have to stay in the dressing room. I shafted my team mates in public, and now I'd like to say sorry to them, in public.

" I spoke to the captains afterwards and now I want to speak out in the open. I was the first one to have a poor game against Leganés, I was angry with myself because I want to win every game. But that doesn't change anything - I shouldn't have said what I said. You learn from these things..."
