Former Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has urged fans to show wantaway Antoine Griezmann greater affection.

Griezmann hasn't received the same affectionate goodbye from the club that Juanfran and the departing Diego Godin have done in recent weeks.

"It's clear that the Atletico fans aren't going to feel the same for Godin than for Antoine," Juanfran said.

"But [Griezmann] gave his all for Atletico Madrid for five years. What he's done is undeniable. You have to thank him.

"You have to value what he's given for Atletico Madrid. And he's given his all. I'm very grateful to him. Now he's taken another path.

"You have to respect him and thank him."
