In the match between Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid, French star Antoine Griezmann became the undisputed “center of attention.” Besides providing a brilliant assist to Alvarez, helping his team take a 1-0 lead, there was another controversial factor – every time he touched the ball on the field, the Anoeta Stadium erupted in boos, with some even shouting slogans like “Griezmann, go die.”
According to Spain’s AS newspaper, this scene is not new.
To create a good atmosphere for the game, the stadium scoreboard specifically displayed a message: “Oppose racist, xenophobic, and intolerant chants. Respect opponents, cheer for your team.” This message was intended to promote unity but was ignored by some fans.
It’s worth noting that not everyone was unhappy with Griezmann. While some fans directed unfriendly comments at him, others expressed their dissatisfaction with such hostile behavior towards Griezmann by booing, creating a real-life version of “you boo me, I boo you.”
Griezmann left Real Sociedad in 2014 to join Atlético Madrid, a decision that still rankles some hardcore Real Sociedad fans. However, Griezmann himself has shown a broad mind, repeatedly expressing deep affection for Real Sociedad, the club that launched him onto the top league stage.
