He was officially unveiled over the weekend and linked up with his new teammates for training for the first time on Monday.
But he suffered a double moment of embarrassment as he was nutmegged twice during a rondo drill.
The French forward, 28, laughed off the embarrassing episodes while his teammates also appeared to go easier on him than they perhaps would for more established members of the team.
Griezmann was also joined at training by fellow new signings Frenkie de Jong and goalkeeper Neto, as Barca bid to retain the La Liga title they won last season and improve on their semifinal Champions League exit.
