Having spent a number of years with Los Colchoneros, Griezmann spoke at length with Suarez about how the club operates and the atmosphere within it.

“I spoke with Antoine,” Suarez acknowledged in his farewell press conference.

Many had expected that Suarez’s international teammate, Jose Gimenez, to have provided far more of an insight into life at Atletico Madrid, but Griezmann has played that role instead.

Suarez understands how important the French forward was during his time in the Spanish capital, and few people can tell him with greater accuracy just what it means to represent Los Colchoneros.

The positive words spoken by Griezmann as well as the determination showed by Diego Simeone and Miguel Angel Gil Marin to bring him to the club, suggest to Suarez that he has made the right decision with regards to his next European destination.
