Griezmann was enraged by the report on Fati and said,”Ansu is an exceptional boy who deserves respect just like all other human beings. No to racism and no to bad manners.”

The report on question here states that,“Ansu was close to scoring with a kick of a pure striker, perfectly turning his body. Ansu when running has something similar to a gazelle, he looks like a young and black street seller, the one you could see running in the Paseo de Gracia shouting “water, water” when the policemen arrive.”

In a clear derogatory remark they also added, “Now this kind of thing does not happen, because, for Ada Colau (the left-wing mayor of Barcelona), the criminals are the police and not the street sellers, who no longer have to run away. It is also true that without tourists, business is rather weak.”

However, the author apologized for his words and said, “As I attempted to highlight the beauty of Ansu’s movement, and his class as a young player, some expressions were interpreted as racial discrimination. I deeply apologize for the misunderstanding and to those who may have been offended.“
