Antoine Griezmann is doing an important job at Barcelona - being the tin opener. The Frenchman has grown used to scoring the first goal of the game.
He has scored 12 goals and eight of them have been the first in the game.
Griezmann spoke after scoring against Leganes in the fourth minute of the Copa del Rey last 16 clash.
"It's true I'm used to playing in the centre, with Atletico and the national team. I know where to move, I have more freedom. But here I'm here to help, inside or out, if they need me as a 9 then up front. I don't care where I play, all I want is to add to the team."
After a tough start he has found his footing and could be crucial in the remainder of the season with Luis Suarez out injured.
