Antoine Griezmann posted a couple of laughing emoticons after
the derby between Real Madrid and Atletico at the Santiago Bernabeu. Fans were
quick to speculate as to what the Frenchman might have been referring to,
perhaps complaining about Stefan Savic's disallowed goal for Saul Niguez's
offside or simply celebrating an injury-time equaliser from Marcos Llorente.
Something made Antoine Griezmann laugh after Sunday
night's derby between Real Madrid and his Atletico side. Shortly after the
match, he posted a couple of laughing emoticons on his
official Twitter profile, leading fans to wonder what he was referring to in
particular. The main source of controversy for his side was a goal
disallowed to Stefan Savic for positional offside by Saul Niguez.
The 'Colchoneros' coach Diego Simeone admitted in a press
conference that the goal was well disallowed by the referee, so
the possibility emerges that the Frenchman was just celebrating the equaliser
with a stoppage-time goal from Marcos Llorente. It is also possible that he
may have given an ironic glance at the protests from a certain section
of the 'Merengues' who were pointing out possible penalties on Jude Bellingham
and Lucas Vazquez.
The fact is that Monday morning came with more than
23,000 reproductions of his virtual laughter, which continues a way of
expressing himself on social networks that was already evident a few days ago,
when, to celebrate a good performance by Memphis Depay, he posted
an icon of a lion surrounded by fingers covering his ears, as the Dutchman
usually does.
Griezmann hardly had any chances against Real Madrid. The
defence was in charge of stopping him, knowing that, with Antonio Rudiger
sidelined, Carvajal was going to have a tricky adaptation exercise and that, in
part, explains the share of the points at the end. A mistake by him and Nacho
led to Llorente's last-gasp equaliser. Before that, the former Barcelona
man could have scored with a back-heel that was parried by Andriy
Lunin.
