Griezmann happy to score as Barcelona thrash Copa opponents Leganes

Antoine Griezmann was delighted to score in Barcelona‘s Copa del Rey rout of Leganes.

Barcelona eased into the next round of the Copa with a 5-0 victory over Leganes at the Camp Nou on Thursday evening and, with Griezmann opening the scoring on the night, the Frenchman has reiterated he is ready to play as a centre-forward if the club need him to.

“If the club need me as a No.9, I’m here to help,” Griezmann explained in his post-match interview.

“If I’m on the left or in the middle, perfect.

“All I want is to help the team.

“I’m used to playing inside.

“I know where to move and I have more freedom, but I’m at this club to help.”

This was the most emphatic performance under Quique Setien and Griezmann discussed the coaching change.

“We’re trying to learn how to play from the coach,” he added.

“We still have things to improve, but we’re on the right track.”
