Recently, the star of Madrid's "Atletico" shines more on social media than on the field.
Struggling this season but showing signs of recovery, Antoine Griezmann should leave the Spanish capital in the summer and join either "Manchester United" or "Barcelona", but the footballer reminds us not only of himself on the football field.
The French national team striker yesterday shared a photo on the social media platform "Twitter" in which he is dressed in the outfit of the legendary exhibition NBA basketball team "Harlem Globetrotters".
The biggest attention was drawn not to A. Griezmann's outfit, but to the changed appearance of the footballer - the Frenchman decided to paint his skin black and wear a wig to best represent the members of this team.
After this scandalous post, the footballer wrote: "Party of the 80s."
However, with this post, A. Griezmann angered social media users, who accused the Frenchman of racism. The striker was quickly forced to delete his post and apologize for it.
"Relax, friends. I am a big fan of the 'Harlem Globetrotters' and I just wanted to pay tribute to their impressive era in this way.
I admit that this may not be the most beautiful act on my part. If I offended anyone, then I apologize," - wrote A. Griezmann that same evening.
