Antoine Griezmann, returning to the grounds of his former club this Sunday, was greeted like a plague victim by Real Sociedad supporters.
This Sunday, Antoine Griezmann and Atlético Madrid visited Real Sociedad. The Colchoneros quickly took the lead thanks to Julian Alvarez, served by an assist from the French striker. However, the visitors had to settle for a draw (1-1) after Luka Sucic’s equalizer.
If Diego Simeone’s men left with a point, the evening was particularly difficult for Griezmann. During his return to Anoeta, the former Real player received a very hostile welcome from the Basque public.
“No to racist, xenophobic and intolerant chants”
Indeed, with each action of the 2018 world champion, chants of “Griezmann die” resonated in the stands, according to several Spanish media. Although the daily Marca specifies that this type of welcome is usual for the newly retired member of the France team during his trips to the stadium of his former club, the organizers of the match still reacted.
A message was broadcast on the giant screen: “No to racist, xenophobic and intolerant chants. Encourage and support your team with respect for the opponent »recalled the speaker. As a reminder, the native of Mâcon, trained at Real Sociedad and launched professionally in 2009, joined Atlético in July 2014 for 30 million euros, after five seasons spent at Erreala.
