Antoine Griezmann gets into on-field spat with Atletico Madrid fans

Jack O'Toole

Antoine Griezmann reportedly got into a public spat with a section of Atletico Madrid fans during the club’s 1-0 win over Valencia on Sunday.

Griezmann appears to have lashed out at the fans in the final minutes of Atletico’s home win. The forward has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona in the summer, however, the Catalan giants deny that an agreement to bring the player to the Camp Nou is already in place.

A club statement read:

“FC Barcelona strongly denies the information that has appeared over the course of the last few hours in different media regarding Atlético Madrid player, Antoine Griezmann, and an alleged deal with our club.

“FC Barcelona expresses its objections in the face of these events and reiterates its full respect for the institution of Atlético Madrid.”
