The move to Barcelona has been a disaster for him thus far. Stripped of his status, standing and seemingly his football identity as his confidence has nosedived and he doesn't look like the same player riding the crest of a wave having been one of the stars of the 2018 World Cup.
Seems to me, despite his highs between 2015 through to 2018, and what looks like being the peak period of his career, he was never universally regarded as one of the true greats active. Is that a fair assumption to make?
What was it about the player that had so few warm to him? And how come so many have written him off because of this stint in a dysfunctional team?
I feel as though he'll be a footnote for the 2010's when he hangs them up in stark contrast to numerous players of the same time period who will be considered greats of their time or certainly greater than Griezmann despite not being peered with the output he had relative to the position he plays on the pitch.
Lastly, in your opinion, is he done as a top level performer? Would a stellar Euros turn anything around for him in your eyes?
