Barcelona hero Rivaldo: Griezmann not up to Neymar

Barcelona hero Rivaldo admits he's unsure if Antoine Griezmann is capable of making a difference with Blaugrana.

Griezmann arrived this summer from Atletico Madrid in a €120m deal.

Rivaldo told Betfair: "Barça's new offensive trio, Messi, Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann, are showing good signs and showing that it can work in the future.

"However, I do not think that will reach the MSN level. Neymar is a unique player who creates a lot of passes, scores a lot of goals and takes control of the game when needed.

"It's something that Griezmann does not have yet and even though he's already scored, he's not adapted to the new style of play yet."
