BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona were surprised and upset at Gerard Pique's involvement in making the television documentary in which Antoine Griezmann revealed he had rejected Barca to stay at Atletico Madrid, the La Liga champions' vice-president Jordi Mestre said on Tuesday.

France forward Griezmann signed a new contract with Atletico on Monday until 2023 after announcing he had resisted an offer to join Barca in a documentary called "The Decision", produced by Kosmos, the production company owned by Barca defender Pique.
