Antoine Griezmann has distanced himself from his uncle's comments after the former agent Eric Olhats lashed out at Lionel Messi. The Frenchman's ex-representative was quoted to have claimed that the Argentine's 'reign of terror' at Barcelona is holding the 29-year-old back. This statement in single quotes forced the Catalans captain to react negatively after he was questioned about his relationship with the former Atletico Madrid man. 

The six-time Ballon d'Or winner lamented that he was tired of being mentioned as the problem of everything at the Nou Camp. He said:

Meanwhile, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has come out to rubbish statements made by his uncle saying he stopped associating with him since he got married according to Sport Bible. "He (Olhats) was very important in my life but I don't have a relationship with him anymore. 
I stopped having any relationship with him since the day I got married. I invited him to the wedding day, and he didn't come. That's why I stopped having a relationship with him. 
"My uncle doesn't know how football works. And in the end, the journalist ended up getting the statement out of him. I told Leo that I never speak to them, in fact, I don't even have my uncle's phone number. "My parents don't talk to Eric either, so who is going to talk to him? He can do a lot of damage, and create problems in the dressing room."
