It's a rare occurrence when Atletico Madrid fans boo their own player. It happened once several years ago with Diego Forlan. This season, it's happened twice to one player—the club's French striker Antoine Griezmann. During the Madrid derby last November—a 0-0 shutout at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium—a scoreless Griezmann was called ashore by his manager Diego Simeone with a quarter of an hour left to play. His fans jeered him mercilessly.
A few months later, again at the Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico's fans whistled him for choosing to hold onto possession and run down the clock instead of pushing for a second goal towards the end of a 1-0 league victory against Valencia.
