Antoine Griezmann 'signs' Liverpool star for Arsenal with incredible results

Anyone who plays Football Manager regularly knows just how immersive an experience it can be, particularly when you get a big transfer budget and you can sign all the biggest stars. Just ask Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann.

The hugely popular football management simulation game is used not only by millions of people around the world, but also by some of the best footballers in the world, including Griezmann, who recently embarked on a save where he was managing Premier League side Arsenal.

He revealed his Football Manager team on Twitter recently, with the game in the year 2023, so he had been playing the save for a good five years at this point.

As you can see from his team, the Frenchman has been very active in the transfer market, bringing in the likes of Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix, Frenkie De Jong, Raphael Varane and Matthijis de Ligt.

However, the most interesting thing about the team, other than the fact that he didn't sign himself, was that the former Atletico Madrid striker also managed to tempt Andy Robertson away from Liverpool.

We can't see Jurgen Klopp letting Robertson leave for Arsenal, even in 2023!

Griezmann's international teammate and current Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette then got involved in the conversation on Twitter and asked where he was in the team.

The 28-year-old then confessed he had sold Lacazette for a low fee to a very unlikely club, and also revealed what he had won with this team.

That's right. Incredibly, Lacazette was sold to Huddersfield for a meagre £23.5 million in 2023!

But, the most astonishing part of the tweet was the amount of trophies he managed to win with his team, with Robertson playing a key part in the trophy wins.

Robertson and co won the Premier League, Carabao Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, with Griezmann as the club's manager.

It finished on a good note for Lacazette though, as Griezmann revealed the real reason he sold the French striker to the Terriers and that he would be immortalised at the Emirates.

After Liverpool's double European trophy win in 2019, it looks like Robertson could turn into a serial trophy winner, hopefully it's still at Liverpool and not at Arsenal!

Reds fans might have to watch out if Antoine Griezmann ever becomes a manager, because Robertson could be first on his shopping list!
