Forward Antoine Griezmann was expelled from Barça’s starting line-up in the October 24 game against Real and only entered the field in the last eight minutes.
“Griezmann dug his own hole when he left Atlético de Madrid,” wrote former midfielder Álvaro Domínguez in Twitter individual when watching the game that Barça lost to Real Madrid 1-3 on October 24.
This is the most important game of the Barça LaLiga season, but Griezmann has to give up his place to two juniors, Pedri and Ansu Fati. In the middle of last week in the Champions League, the French striker did not finish a minute in Barça’s 5-1 victory over Ferencvaros.

Before the El Clásico game, coach Ronald Koeman said Griezmann had the opportunity to play like any other player. “He is an important player, but the team has other players besides him,” the Dutch strategist told a news conference on 23 October. “For me, the biggest benefit is from the team, not from the individual.”
Griezmann moved to Barça in the summer of 2019 for $ 142 million. However, he did not shine as expected, despite playing with two coaches Ernesto Valverde and Quique Setien. The 29-year-old star made 35 La Liga appearances last season, scoring just nine goals.
This season, new coach Koeman allowed Griezmann to start the first four days of La Liga, but did not score or assist.
