Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann fires Celtic ‘best form of my career’ Champions League warning

October 24, 2023

The French superstar heads for Parkhead with his team-mates for tomorrow night’s big clash under the lights as they look to boost their last 16 prospects in the section and dent the Hoops’ Euro chances.

Antoine Griezmann has fired a Champions League warning to Celtic as he admitted ‘I feel like I am in some of the best form of my career’.

The Atletico Madrid superstar heads for Parkhead with his team-mates for tomorrow night’s big clash under the lights as they look to boost their last 16 prospects in the section. Brendan Rodgers’ men know they must win and get off the mark after defeats to Lazio and Feyenoord while the La Liga giants have picked up four points against the same two sides.

Diego Simeone’s men have also lost just one of nine top flight outings in Spain so far this season with the France star netting a hat-trick last time out as they dumped former Celtic defender Carl Starfelt and his Celta Vigo side 3-0. Rodgers and Co also picked up a big weekend win as they hammered Hearts 4-1 at Tynecastle.

But it is the European campaign that the Hoops are desperate to get up and running and after heartbreak in the last outing against Lazio, the Scottish champions will be determined to put things right – but Griezmann has other ideas as he outlined his dream to WIN the Champions League this term.

He told the Daily Record: “The coach talked about resting me last weekend with a big Champions League game against Celtic, but of course I wanted to play and the performance I hope shows that the coach made the right decision.
