I will continue as I am now, giving everything to the club.”Griezmann has been in fine form over recent weeks, taking his goal tally for the season to 25. He has recorded 17 efforts of that haul in 2018, with a slow start to the season which saw him suffer a transfer hangover amid intense talk of a move to England put to one side. “Physically, I'm back,” he added. “Mentally, I'm better, and since January we can say that I have broken down the barriers.“I had a difficult start to the season for several reasons. I expressed things wrongly and made mistakes.” Griezmann will be offered another grand stage on which to maintain his fine form on Sunday when Atletico take in a derby clash with arch-rivals Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu.</blockquote>
