Lucas Hernandez: Griezmann can't banter me because of the 4-1

The Bayern left back spoke about his relationship with Antoine G

Bayern Munich left back Lucas Hernandez joked with Antoine Griezmann about Barcelona’s 4-1 thrashing by PSG a few weeks ago.

“I speak a lot to Griezmann, we write to each other virtually every week,” said Lucas in an interview with L’Equipe.

“He’s like a big brother for me. He can’t say much to me (in the way of banter) because he lost 4-1 to PSG.”

The former Atletico defender, who is hoping to become a regular with David Alaba set to leave, recognised that PSG will be tough opponents for Bayern in the Champions League quarter-finals.

“PSG showed against Barcelona they are one of the big favourites to win the Champions League,” said Lucas. “It will be hard to beat them, in a great clash.”

On the comparison between Haaland and Mbappe, he had no doubt in picking his France compatriot.

“Between Haaland and Mbappe, I prefer Mbappe. Between the youngsters, he’s the best. I’m happy to have him in the French national team.”
