Griezmann admits bursting into tears after Barcelona move

Antoine Griezmann admits he burst into tears when his Barcelona move was finally rubberstamped.

The former Atletico Madrid striker left in controversial fashion for a €120m fee.

He told Marca: "I just wanted to end my holiday and start this new challenge. The dressing room have welcomed me very well: players, coaching staff and doctors and, for the moment, I'm enjoying it and let's hope I can get enough confidence to speak, be myself and enjoy.

"Well, I called my father and I started to cry with happiness because I was there, everything was done. I was with my friends, my wife and my children and it was an incredible moment."
