“It’s a mess among the Blues”
“Griezmann’s retirement, the moment and the way it happened, it can’t mean anything other than: it’s a mess at the Blues, I’m no longer there. If he stops at the end of the Euro, that’s understandable. He’ll stop in a year or because he’s injured, that’s understandable.
