Pjanic reacts to Griezmann losing his starting XI spot at Barcelona

Koeman benched Griezmann in Barca's last two outings.

What's more, the Frenchman was given only a 9-minute cameo in El Clasico over the weekend.

Pjanic has backed the 29-year-old to find his best form soon.

“Griezmann is part of the team, he is a striker and wants to score goals but we have to accept the coach’s decisions even if sometimes we don’t like them, ” Miralem Pjanic told the pre-Juventus presser on Tuesday, as quoted by Football Italia.

“He’ll do well in the next match, as a forward, he wants to score to feel really well. It will be important for him to start scoring goals and have a crucial role for the whole team, I hope everything will be all right.”

Antoine Griezmann was benched by Ronald Koeman in Barcelona's latest two games against Ferencvaros in the Champions League and against Real Madrid in the La Liga. What's more, the Frenchman was given only a 9-minute cameo in El Clasico over the weekend.

The 29-year-old is yet to contribute to a single goal for the Catalans this season so far.
