The Frenchman played no part in the Blaugrana’s 2-0 victory at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan over the weekend

Ronaldo Koeman has explained why Antoine Griezmann stayed on the bench throughout Barcelona’s win at Sevilla.

Barca moved up to second in the Liga standings after picking up a 2-0 away win on Saturday, with Ousmane Dembele and Lionel Messi grabbing the goals for the visitors.

Griezmann didn’t see a single minute of the action at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan as Koeman opted to keep the Frenchman on the bench, which he claims was a purely tactical decision.
