"I am doing well", Griezmann said after the game. "I have hunger to play more and keep learning. "I can play in any position up front.
"I don't mind my position so long as I'm on the pitch. "I'd rather be on the pitch than on the bench. "I have to learn and make movements to help my teammates."
As for the injury worry, the forward insisted he'll be fine for the next games: "It hurts a bit, but no more," he said. "I will be ready for the next match. "It was quite an ugly challenge."
