In Spain, scandals involving people are common fans. However, it is not about fights or riots, but about chants targeting specific players. He experienced this on his own experience many times, including: Vinicius Junior. Fans even hung an effigy resembling the Brazilian from bridges, sang offensive songs and even wished him dead. Each time both Vinicius and Real Madrid tried to react. Now Antoine realized the fans' anger Griezmann.
The fans had no mercy for Griezmann. They still haven't forgiven him for this. Outrageous behavior
The unpleasant incident occurred on Sunday evening during the match between Real Sociedad and… Atletico Madrid. The Frenchman appeared on the pitch from the very beginning. He had some good actions, but he failed to score a goal in the first half. However, he recorded an assist for Julian Alvarez's goal from the first minute of the match.
As it turns out, he had to face not only his rivals, but also the home fans. They started shouting offensive phrases at him, as reported by the “El Chiringuito” program. The speech includes: about “Giń Griezmann” or “The Assassin of Atletico”. “This is not football,” the journalists at X pointed out sharply.
Why did the fans behave this way? The Frenchman previously played for Real Sociedad. He spent over nine years there, playing in both youth teams and the first team. However, in 2014 he decided to do so transfer to Atletico Madrid. And many fans have not forgiven him for this to this day. “Many fans were disgusted with the way he left the club. And every time he returns to the stadium, they remind him of it,” writes goal.com.
This is the next time
It turns out that Sunday's incident was not the only one of this type aimed at the Frenchman at Estadio Anoeta. In the past, Real Sociedad fans whistled when the announcer called out a player's name. They booed him when he touched the ball. They also wished him dead. Griezmann, however, tried to approach the situation quite neutrally. When he left the club, he assured that he would never be happy about the goal he scored against Real and he keeps his word. It's a pity that fans can't behave better.
Ultimately, Sunday's match ended in a 1-1 draw. The decisive goal came in the 84th minute and was scored by Luka Sucić. A minute earlier, Griezmann left the pitch.
