So people have been waiting for them to come back.

I think there's more excitement in their return so far than there is concern about what that return might mean in terms of the team.

Of course, it's also it's too early.

Mbappé came on against City in midweek.

He came on against Atletico.

We think he'll be starting tomorrow.

And soon enough, he's going away to France, the international break as well.

Jude Bellion got his first minutes as well in this derby.

So there haven't yet been any signs that you've brought them in and it's not working.

As soon as there are, I think then those questions will start to be discussed.

But so far, I think because the momentum, the feeling is really positive.

It's like, OK, the team's playing well and now we've got these players coming back.

But it hasn't necessarily taken the next step to starting to be like, oh, hang on a minute.

What does this actually mean?

Yeah, it's been a bit of a saga this one, hasn't it?

Of course, these talks between Griezmann and Orlando started earlier in the season.

There were suggestions that he might go during the MLS transfer window that closed this month.

And that didn't happen because what happened in the meantime is that Griezmann won back his place in the Atletico Madrid team and became a really important player for the team again when he had been on the sidelines earlier in the season.

And with so much still at stake for Atleti, with the Copa del Rey final in particular that Atleti have got coming up, Griezmann, he just couldn't walk away from that.

So,
