Barcelona have handed Antoine Griezmann an official shirt number.

There were claims Griezmann would demand the No7 from Philippe Coutinho upon his arrival from Atletico Madrid.

The Frenchman has never had any affinity with the number, having taken the No.7 at both Real Sociedad - after starting with the No.27 - and Atletico Madrid, as well as with his country.

It could still be that Griezmann is waiting for the departure of Coutinho, after which he will inherit the Brazilian's No.7 jersey.
