Barcelona president Laporta: We did not need Griezmann

Barcelona president Joan Laporta insists they won't miss Antoine Griezmann.

Griezmann left Barca last week for Atletico Madrid on-loan.

“He was not the player we needed," admitted the Barcelona chief.

“I think he could have given more but the circumstances were complicated. Maybe he didn't fit in the Barça system."

He did say that Griezmann's attitude “was always correct" and that he's “very alive, last year he scored goals, especially in the Copa del Rey."
