Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman insists he's happy with Antoine Griezmann, despite hooking him for Sunday's 1-1 draw with Sevilla.

Griezmann was the first substitution made by Koeman on the night.

He insisted, however: “He has had two good opportunities that have been generated thanks to the great quality he has.

"The other day I took him off at halftime for a tactical issue and this time I had Pedri and (Francisco) Trincao and I wanted to change some things."

Koeman also had praise for young defender Ronald Araujo.

He added: "He played a very good game. He's confident, he's strong, we're working very well and he's growing."
