Explained: Why Griezmann's miss wasn't as terrible as it seemed at first glance

Antoine Griezmann missed an open goal against Real Sociedad and the fans on the Internet quickly labelled it as the miss of the season. However, when taking a closer look at the episode, it appears that the miss wasn't at all Griezmann's fault.

Jordi Alba makes a low driven cross and Barcelona's forward is picking his position

The ball takes a slight deflection off of Alex Remiro and changes its direction

As a result, it hits Griezmann's heel and goes straight into the goalkeeper's hands

It's safe to stay that this would've been a goal if Remiro didn't touch the ball. Griezmann's positioning was right, he had no way of knowing that the goalkeeper will touch the ball with his toes.
