Luis Suarez: Griezmann doesn't know how it feels to be Uruguayan FIFA World Cup 2018 The two will meet in the World Cup

Antoine Griezmann has always been an admirer of Uruguayan culture but Barcelona forward Luis Suarez was forceful in reminding the Atletico Madrid star of his nationality.

Diego Godin is a close friend of Griezmann and the latter enjoys traditional drink 'mate' and other aspects of the culture, with it even often being said that he is half-Uruguayan.

Suarez, however, is not buying into it and says the player does not understand what it means to be from his home country.

"Antoine is saying that he is half-Uruguayan but he is French and he doesn't know what it is to feel Uruguayan," he said.

"He doesn't know who we are or what we must do to be successful in football. He enjoys our customs and can speak the same language, but we feel differently."
