Fans slam ‘stupid theory’ that Messi doesn’t like Griezmann after their passionate celebration in Barca win vs Dortmund

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

However, after Messi set up Griezmann to score Barca’s third last night, the pair passionately celebrated together which convinced fans online there is no problem at all.

One posted: “Messi doing everything to help Griezmann get on the scoresheet reminds me of how he used to do it for Neymar, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Tello and countless other Barça players when they were struggling to get confidence in front of goal.”

And another added: “That Messi pass to Griezmann just dissolved all the stupid theories.

“What Messi does on and off the pitch is simply insurmountable.”

Even Gary Lineker got involved and tweeted: “Who says Messi doesn’t pass to Griezmann? Great assist for the Frenchman’s goal.”

Griezmann’s Barca teammate Clement Lenglet – who previously admitted Messi and Griezmann weren’t close – also hit out at the striker’s critics after the game.

He said: “It’s a good moment because the three forwards have scored and Leo made two assists.

“Now you can’t say anything about Antoine.”
