Less than 24 hours after helping France defeat Finland, Antoine Griezmann trained with Atletico Madrid for the first time since his return.
Antoine Griezmann declared "I'm back" to Atletico Madrid's supporters after returning to training for the first time since re-joining from Barcelona.
The France forward made the switch to LaLiga's champions on loan for the 2021-22 season, with the option for either club to extend for a further year.
Less than 24 hours after scoring twice in Les Bleus’ 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Finland on Tuesday, Griezmann was back in training with Los Rojiblancos.
The 30-year-old delivered a personalised message via the club’s official Twitter account, saying: "Hello Atleti fans, I'm back."
Griezmann scored 133 goals in 257 appearances during his first spell with Atletico between 2014 and 2019, before departing for Barcelona in a €120million deal.
He was part of Diego Simeone's side that won the 2018 Europa League, two years after helping them reach the Champions League final.
