Atlético, very angry at the UEFA sanction for Griezmann

Almost a month after Atlético-Liverpool in the Metropolitan for which Griezmann saw the red, the rojiblanco club receives his punishment: two penalty matches. Something that has angered, and a lot, the rojiblanco club, for excessive and treacherous. The Frenchman already missed the rojiblanco team’s match at Anfield and now he will also be lost, when Simeone had him and was in all his plans, that of Milan in the Wanda Metropolitano, in which Atlético needs to win so as not to go to the last matchday to Porto as if it were a final. However, the club will appeal.

Two games to Griezmann for an action that was fortuitous, since the French wanted to control a raised ball and his foot hit the Brazilian’s neck. The referee, without hesitation, showed him the red one. The funny thing is that on that same day and group, Ibrahimovic did not see her for a similar action in Milan-Porto and neither did Diogo Jota for an action traced to that of Griezmann in the game that in Anfield faced rojiblancos and English. Identical. But there without a card or two games out. What Atlético is playing with.

A punishment that, by the way, comes from the action itself. Two games for that kick. To an Atlético that, right now, recovers Savic after having to serve four games of suspension for elbowing Rudiger in the chest and later protest. A punishment that in the club was also understood as excessive and that ended now, against Milan. And Simeone could count on Savic. And with Griezmann. Not anymore.

Felipe, two other suspension matches

Identical path that the French will take Felipe. The center-back saw the direct red at Anfield for a tackle on Mané and, in addition to how painful it was to leave his team with ten, now They have lost two games of sanction as well. In other words, the Brazilian will no longer play in this group stage. Luckily for Simeone, Savic is now available, who missed the first four games of this Champions League due to a punishment that has dragged on since last season.
