Griezmann says heart with Barca after ugly Atletico exit

Antoine Griezmann on Monday said he couldn't wait to make his Barcelona debut and that his heart was with the team as he tries to move on from a sour exit from Spanish rivals Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann's 120 million euros transfer was contested by Atletico, who insisted Barcelona should have paid a higher price for the World Cup-winning French striker.

But he told media in Tokyo: "I am very happy about the outcome of my transfer. I am very eager to play as soon as possible."
