Antoine Griezmann's Barcelona story ended in the depths of misery, but as he returns to Camp Nou in the Champions League quarterfinals, the French forward is desperate to close out his time with Atletico Madrid on the greatest of highs.

Diego Simeone's side, defeated in the 2014 and 2016 finals, has never lifted the trophy, and veteran forward Griezmann, who will move to MLS side Orlando City at the end of the season, has not won a trophy with Atletico since the 2018 Europa League and subsequent UEFA Super Cup.

Griezmann switched to Barca from Atletico in 2019, lasting just two years in the Catalan capital before returning to Simeone's side on loan, before making the return permanent in 2022.
