Antonine Griezmann’s father complained about a red card shown to his son in Atletico Madrid-Liverpool: ‘Ibra got a yellow card, bunch of clowns.’
Last night, the French striker saw a straight red card for a high foot challenge on Roberto Firmino at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic committed a similar foul against Porto but only got a yellow card.
Griezmann’s father Alain saw similarities in the two fouls, although his son was sent off, while Ibra was only booked.
“Yellow for Zlatan and red for Griezmann, bunch of clowns,” Griezmann senior wrote on Instagram, posting a picture of Ibrahimovic’s foul.
After a few minutes, he removed the post, but it had already become viral and was shared by a few media outlets, including Calciomercato.com in Italy.
Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Milan are all in Group B and the Reds are the leaders with three wins from three games.
The Rossoneri lost all their group stage games so far this season and need to collect at least seven points in the next three games to keep their qualification hopes alive.
