I do not know what will happen, it is not a decision for him to say after the final." Gil Marin also hit out at Spanish rivals Barca once again amid their public pursuit of Griezmann.Atletico have already slammed Barca for "an absolute lack of respect" in their attempts to prise Griezmann to Camp Nou after Luis Suarez suggested a deal to sign the Frenchman was a formality. Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu also claimed he met with Griezmann's representatives last October."It does not make sense what they are doing," Gil Marin said. "After the statement, Bartomeu has not answered me."</blockquote>
