Antoine Griezmann who demolished Barcelona’s treble dream was on the radar to join Barcelona back in 2011.

Griezmann’s brace at Vincente Calderon was enough to eliminate Barcelona from the Champions League but the weird part of it is that Barcelona had the chance to sign the French striker back in 2011 when he was in Real Sociedad.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Pep Guardiola wanted to sign the Frenchman, who was then at Real Sociedad, for the Blaugranas’ reserve team.

In the summer of 2011, Guardiola managed to contact the player and Barça negotiate with his entourage. The problem was that Griezmann didn’t want to play for Barça B but for the first team. But Guardiola and the club had already agreed on a deal to incorporate Alexis Sánchez. Eventually, instead of signing Griezmann, Barça signed Kiko Femenía, a move that ended up being a total failure.”

Barcelona has finally paid the price for making such a wrong decision.
