Antoine GriezmannWhen asked about the subject ahead of Saturday’s visit to Atletico, Koeman said the duo get alongBarcelona coach Ronald Koeman has played down notions of a rift between club great Lionel Messi and fellow forward Antoine Griezmann. Earlier this month Griezmann’s former agent, Eric Olhats, told France Football that the Argentine had a problem with his ex-client, leading Messi to snap at journalists upon his return from international duty. When asked about the subject ahead of Saturday’s visit to Atletico Madrid, Koeman said the duo get along. Koeman will be without Ansuman Fati, Samuel Umtiti, Sergio Busquets and Ronald Araujo for the trip to Atletico, who sit six points above the Catalans. The Dutchman also criticized the avalanche of games his side are facing, with the visit to Atletico the first of 10 matches in 32 days, on the back of an international break when countries played three times.
