Barcelona made another Suarez-style mistake, admitting a loss of 90 million and abandoning the new Messi, and now it has become a fierce rival for the championship
Barcelona once again made a Suarez-style mistake, admitting a loss of 90 million to send away the new Messi, but now it has become a fierce rival for the championship. In the summer window of 2020, Barcelona regarded Su Ya as a burden with a high salary, tried their best to clean him like garbage, and finally sold him to Atletico Madrid, a giant in the same league, for a very low transfer fee. As a result, the Barcelona management was soon slapped in the face, and Suarez once again became Su Shen, handing over 32 games, 21 goals and 3 assists in the 20-21 season, helping Atletico Madrid win the La Liga championship trophy after many years.
And now Barcelona has once again made this kind of mistake of selling at a low price to the benefit of the title rivals, this time Griezmann. Barcelona signed him from Atletico Madrid for 120 million in the summer window of 2019, with his comprehensive and top-level strength, the grid is regarded as the new Messi, but because the real Messi is still in the team, the positions and roles of the two seriously overlap, so he has no choice but to play the role of a sapper.
After only 2 seasons, he was regarded by Barcelona as a high salary burden and sent back to Atletico Madrid in the form of a loan fee of 10 million plus a buyout clause, and finally the latter completely bought out Griezmann for 20 million after a bargain. In other words, between buying and selling, Barcelona lost 90 million euros, and as a result, they admitted losses at the economic level and suffered punishment at the competitive level. After returning to Atletico Madrid and joining his mentor Simeone, Griezmann has gone from strength to strength, scoring 15 goals and 16 assists last season.
He has continued to shine this season, with nine goals and one assist after 13 league games, and it was his crucial goal in the 1-0 win over Mallorca that allowed the team to take all three points, after which the opposition coach Aguirre was kicked off, praising him as one of the three best players in La Liga. So far this season alone, Antoine Griezmann has scored eight more points for Atletico. Helped Atletico Madrid to accumulate 31 points with Barcelona with one less round of games and successfully entered the first echelon of La Liga. Therefore, conceding a loss of 90 million to send such an excellent star to Barcelona, which is a rival for the championship, has undoubtedly made another confused deal.
