The French striker admits that he likes Liverpool fans.
Antoine Griezmann has admitted to Sky Sports that he has a soft spot for Liverpool because of the fans.
The Reds boast some of the most passionate supporters in Europe.
This was exemplified in May when Liverpool overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to beat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield en route to reaching the Champions League final, which they won for a sixth time.
Griezmann, who earned a £107 million move [The Echo] to Barcelona from Atletico Madrid this month, told Sky Sports: “In terms of teams I admire Liverpool because of the fans. Hopefully one day they will win the league again.”
Incredibly, it’s been almost 30 years since Liverpool last reigned supreme in England.
Their last top-flight league title was in 1990 but there is a very good chance that Jurgen Klopp’s side, now with the experience of winning a major trophy, could correct that this season.
The Anfield club only missed out on Premier League glory by a single point last season, despite losing only once, and Manchester City will know they have a very tough fight to win a third straight crown come May.
The Merseysiders kick off their Premier League bid with a visit of Norwich City on August 9.
