Antoine Griezmann admits he burst into tears when his Barcelona move was finally rubberstamped.

The former Atletico Madrid striker left in controversial fashion for a 120m fee.

He told Marca: "I just wanted to end my holiday and start this new challenge. The dressing room have welcomed me very well: players, coaching staff and doctors and, for the moment, I'm enjoying it and let's hope I can get enough confidence to speak, be myself and enjoy.

"Well, I called my father and I started to cry with happiness because I was there, everything was done. I was with my friends, my wife and my children and it was an incredible moment."
