How many goals has Griezmann scored for Barcelona?

Some players travel across continents to find a place where their talents can truly flourish, but for Griezmann, the journey from Madrid to Catalonia served only to prove where his heart and best form truly belonged. In 2019, the man nicknamed "Le Petit Prince" arrived at Barcelona for a staggering €120 million. It was supposed to be the final piece of a dominant puzzle, yet the light feet that danced through defenses at Atletico Madrid suddenly felt heavy under the immense pressure of the Blaugrana shirt. 

Forced to play out of his natural position to accommodate other superstars, Griezmann spent two years in a tactical prison, unable to unleash the creative brilliance that made him a world champion. As the 35-year-old prepares to bid farewell to La Liga after 15 years to join Orlando City in MLS, Spbolivescore takes a somber look back at his most difficult period in Spain by answering the definitive question: "How many goals has Griezmann scored for Barcelona?"

How many goals has Griezmann scored for Barcelona?

Griezmann officially joined Barcelona on July 12, 2019, after the club triggered his €120 million release clause from Atletico Madrid. At the time, he was one of the most decorated players in the world, having led France to 2018 World Cup glory and guided Atletico to a Europa League title and a Champions League final. 

He made his official debut on August 16, 2019, in a 1-0 loss against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. However, it didn't take long for him to find the net. One week later, in his home debut at the Camp Nou against Real Betis, Griezmann scored his first goal for the club. It was a clinical finish from the edge of the area that sparked a 5-2 victory, leading many to believe a new era of dominance had begun.

During his 2-season stint, Griezmann made 102 official appearances. He finished with 35 goals and 17 assists. Breaking this down by competition, he scored 22 goals in La Liga, 4 in the UEFA Champions League, and 9 in domestic cup competitions (Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España). While these numbers are respectable for an average forward, they were considered underwhelming for a player of his stature. 

Despite the struggles, Griezmann did have moments of brilliance. His most iconic performance came in the 2021 Copa del Rey, where he scored and assisted in a dramatic 5-3 comeback win against Granada. He eventually helped Barca lift the Copa del Rey trophy that year, his only major title with the club.

Griezmann often found himself playing alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, a trio that struggled to find the same chemistry "MSN" once had. While he shared the pitch with legends, the tactical overlap with Messi meant Griezmann was often pushed to the left wing, far from the central "second striker" role where he thrived at Atletico. 

After 102 games, Griezmann returned to Atletico Madrid on loan in 2021, a move that eventually became permanent. Beyond Barcelona, Griezmann’s career has been legendary, he has made over 790 club appearances and scored nearly 300 goals for Real Sociedad, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid. 

For France, he remains a titan with 44 goals and a World Cup trophy. As he heads to Orlando City, he leaves behind a total career tally that cements his greatness, even if his time in Barcelona remains a "what if" in football history.

Summary of Griezmann’s statistics at Barcelona: 

Total appearances: 102

Total goals: 35

Total assists: 17

La Liga goals: 22

Champions League goals: 4

Cup Competitions goals: 9

Major titles: 1 (Copa del Rey 2020/21)

The data provided by Spbolivescore.net has finally revealed the answer to how many goals has Griezmann scored for Barcelona? Perhaps the most bitter irony of Griezmann’s 15-year career in Spain is that he has never won a La Liga title. 

In a cruel twist of fate, when Griezmann was struggling at Barcelona in the 2020/21 season, his former club Atletico Madrid marched to the league title. Conversely, as soon as he returned to the capital, Barcelona reclaimed the throne as the kings of Spanish football. As he prepares for his American adventure, it seems certain that the domestic league trophy will remain the one missing piece in his illustrious trophy cabinet.
