Griezmann reveals having gone for dinner with Suarez and Messi Barcelona Forging a relationship

Antoine Griezmann hasn't had the easiest of starts at Barcelona but he's still getting to know his new strike partners off the field.

Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi have long been close friends away from the pitch, and Griezmann is still trying to find his place around them.

"I'm really shy and I'm not very good at talking to people," he said to UEFA.com.

"I'm not the type of person to start conversations. But Leo, Luis and I are getting to know each other and we've already gone for dinner together.

"Our relationship will only improve over time, and it's clear that what happens will only make us feel more comfortable on the pitch."

Speaking of Messi's ability on the field, the Frenchman couldn't speak any more highly of him.

"We won't see a player like him in the next 40 years," he said.

"What he does is incredible.

"It's a real delight to see him play."
