Antoine Griezmann, compromising images

Immediately replacing, Wednesday, during the Copa del Rey match against Elche, Antoine Griezmann visibly refused to come into play.

Leader of La Liga at mid-championship, one point ahead of Real Madrid, back in the race for the first eight places in the Champions League, Ateltico Madrid also continues the adventure in the Copa del Rey. On Wednesday, the colchoneros in fact calmly won on the pitch of Elche (0-4) in the round of 16 and therefore won their ticket to the quarter-finals in the same way as Barça or Real Madrid.

In the fight for promotion to La Liga, Elche was no match for the Madrilenians. Atletico Madrid showed up without two men, including Jan Oblak, Julian Alvarez, Rodrigo de Paul and Antoine Griezmann, who made his debut from the bench. And in the end, the two Argentine world champions have their say.

Antoine Griezmann refused to leave

Diego Simeone is visible alongside Antoine Griezmann. While the score was already 3-0 for the Colchoneros, an assistant to the Argentine coach actually came to ask him to warm up. An idea that is not visible to the taste of the French world champion, which results in a set that responds to what is sent from the coach.

Dieo Simeone’s assistant was left to leave, looking disappointed, and Antoine Griezmann therefore remained on the bench until the final whistle. If the Colchoneros colleague is not there before the press conference incident, he will be questioned on the subjects of his next appearance in front of the microphones, in this case against Leganes.
