ANT 'N CHECK
ANTOINE GRIEZMANN wore the biggest smile of all as he joined Barcelona team-mates for pre-season medical tests after his £108milion move from Atletico Madrid.
The France striker looked relieved, relaxed and revved up for the Spanish campaign as he gave the thumbs-up after swapping the La Liga runners-up for the champions.

Barca themselves posted social media photos of the 28-year-old having body composition, cardio and biomedical tests at their Esportiva Joan Gamper base.
Griezmann had completed his controversial transfer - which Atletico plan on disputing - just in time for the start of the club's pre-season training on Monday.
The World Cup winner will be joined in the first session by fellow summer buys Neto and Frenkie de Jong.
But former Valencia keeper Neto, 29, as well as 22-year-old ex-Ajax midfielder De Jong had no need to do Sunday's medical checks.
They both completed their tests before sealing their transfers to the Nou Camp.
Every Barcelona player, though, will have their blood analysed early on Monday.
Boss Ernesto Valverde will then launch training with a morning and evening session in a rigorous week of conditioning.
The aim is to have Barca in top shape for Rakuten Cup games in Japan against Chelsea on July 23 and J1 league side Vissel Kobe four days later.

Valverde still hopes to re-sign £198million Brazil frontman Neymar from PSG.
But Barca's financial clout has taken a hit as Griezmann's arrival reportedly leaves them £800m in debt.
That heightens speculation the Spanish giants would be willing to offload Ousmane Dembele, Malcom and ex-Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho.
