Griezmann’s controversial tweet immediately after the end of the derby
Atlético Madrid complained about refereeing Sanchez Martinez for a goal disallowed in the 48th minute due to Saul being offside. A goal would mean the score is 1-1.. However, the Murcia Committee referee decided that Savic’s header should not go on the scoreboard due to Saul’s advanced position, which also prevented Lunin. After meeting, Griezmann took to social media to be ironic. It is unknown whether the French striker was referring to Savic’s disallowed goal, the stoppage-time draw or another aspect of the derby.. The French striker posted a tweet with two laughing emojis.
Cholo Simeone, for his part, was not entirely satisfied with the disallowed goal against Savic and in the press center resorted to ambiguity, saying that “A disallowed goal which they said was fair because Saul was in front of the goalkeeper”. Real Madrid fans, for their part, complained about three potential penalties not awarded by Sanchez Martinez: two against Bellingham and one against Lucas Vazquez.
In addition, the Mallorcan side Pablo Maffeo He also joined the controversy and responded to Griezmann’s laughter in “X”. This is not the first time the defender has had friction with Real Madrid and he took advantage of this to further demonstrate his dislike for the white team.
