Atletico Madrid striker Griezmann: Felix didn't work hard enough here

Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann felt Joao Felix struggled for consistency at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Felix is now playing impressively on-loan at Barcelona.

Griezmann said of his former teammate: "In the end when you get here you know more or less what the coach is like, what the team is like, and either you adapt and work for it or things don't work out for you.

"Joao had moments when he did very well, when he worked very well, but you have to be constant and there came a time when he got tired, he couldn't see himself here anymore and that's why he made the effort and the club also made the effort to give him a way out."
