Antoine Griezmann hits out at racist reporting about Ansu Fati

Antoine Griezmann has hit back at racist comments directed at Barcelona team-mate Ansu Fati following the club’s 5-1 Champions League win over Ferencvaros.

The World Cup winner took to Twitter to shame the reporting from Spanish daily ABC, the country’s third-largest newspaper.

He wrote: “Ansu is an exceptional boy who deserves respect just like all other human beings. No to racism and no to bad manners.”

Ansu es un chico excepcional que merece respeto como cualquier ser humano. No al racismo y no a la mala educación.
