TIL Desk Sports/ FC Barcelona coach Quique Setien defended striker Antoine Griezmann on Monday ahead of his side”s second game in the return to LaLiga action. Barca entertain struggling Leganes in an empty Camp Nou Stadium on Tuesday night following their 4-0 win in Mallorca on Saturday night.
Setien admitted it would be strange to play in front of a ground that is usually filled with over 90,000 fans. “I don”t know how much it will affect us, but we would rather play with supporters — football loses part of its essence when the ground is empty, but it”s what we have to do at the moment,” he said.
He was also asked about striker Griezmann, who has only scored eight league goals since his move from Atletico Madrid last summer and whose place would be under threat after Luis Suarez”s recovery from a knee operation.
