Atletico Madrid midfielder De Paul confident Griezmann will win over fans

Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodrigo de Paul is confident Antoine Griezmann will win over the support.

Griezmann was jeered by home fans during last night's 0-0 draw with Champions League opponents Porto - his first appearance at the Wanda Metropolitano since returning on-loan from Barcelona.

De Paul later said: "On the pitch I didn't notice him like that, for us he is a super important player, he has had great nights here, he has experience and he is an important value that we have in the dressing room and I am sure that people will enjoy him again.

"Well, he is a very important player for us, he knows the dressing room, the club, he knows the dynamics of the coaching staff.

"We are delighted to have him with us."
